Fwd: [jboss-dev] Include Web Beans RI in next JBoss 5 release

[Pete Muir]

As Ales says, Web Beans is being developed as a standalone project,  
it's not using the Seam codebase at all. We should probably rename the  
Seam deployer to seam2.deployer.

Also, unlike Seam, Web Beans will be distributed as part of the app  
server, rather than as an application library.
