[webbeans-dev] RE: New name

[Michael Keith]

One of the problems with the existing name is that it names a new type of object,
which gives the impression that a new "component" is being introduced. 
Rather, this spec is supposed to be introducing a new set of container services, so
a better direction might be to name it around the sevices that it is offering and 
not the objects that are the beneficiaries of those services (and are supposed
to already exist outside of this spec).

A few ideas, just to illustrate what I mean, and start the naming juices flowing 
in this direction:

Context and Injection Services
Container Object Services
Container Contexts and Injection
Contextual Support for Container Objects

The other option is to give it an arbitrary name and let the contents speak
for itself (a la "Swing", and other similar randomly-named technologies).
"Fred" has a nice ring to it ;-)
