A custom Weld Java SE startup class

[starksm64]

I was playing around with the Weld framework and wanted a more deterministic way of specifying what the post Weld bootstrap application entry point was than I seemed to be able to achieve via the org.jboss.weld.environment.se.StartMain class. Here is a little blog showing the custom class and usage:

Is there a way to achieve a similar targeted startup with the existing bootstrap classes? If not, should I create an RFE with that code?

I created a followup post on expanding the WeldMain interface to support a shutdown() callback that is invoked from an Extension installed by the CustomWeldStartMain. Most of the additional code has to do with marking the WeldMain ManagedBean instance that was created by the CustomWeldStartMain with a WeldMainType qualifier so that the Extension could select the approriate WeldMain during shutdown. There still is a hacky type cast to the known default DefaultWeldMainExtension implementation class I could not figure out how to workaround.

What if you create a patch / pull-request on how you would like to see it done? :-)

On the SE side, we're very much open to suggestions.
