Hi,
Talking with Seam/CDI tooling team at EclipseCon and we are still in the dark on how tooling are supposed to identify CDI extensions that are registered programmatically and often does not have a beans.xml to "mark" them.
Today we do it by simply scanning jars with *weld*.jar naming pattern (very brittle and not good for 3rd party extensions).
Furthermore we also have a list of classes to include/exclude since some components in these jars aren't CDI compliant.
How do we go about identifying these things ?
The idea discussed with Dan/Pete on this topic previously were to add a design-beans.xml
and use that as a marker + list the classes we should load/configure as possible injection/navigation candidates in the tooling.
I was hoping this were settled before Seam 3 GA but it seem to fallen through the cracks ?
Something I missed ?
