CDI: Get a list of matching beans

[ozizka]

Hi,

can I get a list of beans matching given annotations, using anotations?

I mean, can I convert this

java.util.Set<Bean<?>> myBeans = getBeans(Foobar.class, annotation1, ann2, ...);

to this?

@Inject @Anno1 @Anno2 java.util.Set<Bean<?>> myBeans;

Or any plans for it?

Thanks,

Ondra

Which brings me to my other question:

Is CDI suitable as a "plugin framework"?

By which I mean, for a standalone application which loads plugins from classpath.

I'd (mis)use it's lifecycle for init(), start(), stop(), destroy()...

Any link to an example of such usage is welcome.
