Pete Muir commented on WELD-904:
--------------------------------

No, they should not be enabled, but they should still be there. Just like alternatives.

> The expected output is:
> INIT BAR
> The actual output is:
> INIT BAR
> EVENT BAR
> Removing the @SomeQualifier annotation on the Bar#onEvent() method results in:
> INIT BAR
> EVENT BAR
> EVENT BAR
> Removing also the @Observes annotation on the Bar#onEvent() method results in:
> INIT BAR
> EVENT BAR
> One or several of these outcomes is wrong. Also, section 4.2 of the spec says that observer methods are only inherited if the subclass doesn't override the method. I'm confused why everyone (e.g. https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDITCK-186) seems to assume the exact opposite.
