Hi, CDI 2.0 introduced a number of very convenient build-in annotation literals, for many of the annotations it owns and for some it doesn't own (JSR 330). See:

I hope we have a chance to decide ;)

I can imagine the answer, but is there a possibility that we could provide a pull request for this now? Regards, Guillermo González de Agüero

Hi Bill, Since the API artifact is distributed as a maven artifact, does it make sense to consider non-maven scenarios? It shouldn't be a problem to configure the Java EE maven project to produce both

Java EE 8 is essentially done. Your suggested fix would result in an API jar file that's not usable by people who aren't using Maven. If some application server provides

Hi Bill, Sorry, I wasn't able to look at the JAR contents the other day and I only checked the POM. What we have now is, as you said, a JAR which contains all the API classes on it. Its pom declares

The Maven project that builds the API jar file does so by recompiling all the javax.* source files. Because some of these source files have static dependencies on non-javax.* classes,

Excuse me all for flooding. The JSF dependency I was seeing is Mojarra implementation, which I don't think belongs

Sorry Lukas, didn't look at the content of the POM. Looks like you already took care of this. That's just great. I see some implementation APIs there though for JSF and JavaMail. Could that APIs be

I can't see it on https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/snapshots/javax/ and I haven't heard of any snapshots being published. I thought that would need to wait until all specs were

Shouldn't there be a snapshot version e.g. in java.net/maven? (java.net still exists at least for that purpose) Regards, Werner
