Support injection of Provider<X> beans

                 Key: JBIDE-9428
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9428
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: cdi
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0.M2
            Reporter: Viacheslav Kabanovich
            Assignee: Viacheslav Kabanovich
             Fix For: 3.3.0.M3


5.6.2. The built-in Instance
The container must provide a built-in bean with:
• Instance<X> and Provider<X> for every legal bean type X in its set of bean types,
• every qualifier type in its set of qualifier types,
• scope @Dependent,
• no bean EL name, and
• an implementation provided automatically by the container.

Since Instance extends Provider, CDI implementations are likely to just implement Instance interface, which automatically supports injections of Provider<X> as well as that of Instance<X>. So, in practice, there is no difference between these two injections, but formally, Provider interface misses methods narrowing the set of eligible beans and methods for checking if that set is ambiguous or unsatisfied; the only method get() throws RuntimeException in such cases, so that it is logical to perform validation of Provider<X> injection in the same way as X injection.
