How do I start a Java SE application without using StartMain?

In the documentation for Weld, under 18.4.2.2. it states that I can use Weld by doing the following:

Weld weld = new Weld();

WeldContainer container = weld.initalize();

however there's no method called initalize in the class Weld in weld-se.jar version 2.0.3.FINAL

Aren't you looking at the wrong Weld class? There are actually two of them:
- org.jboss.weld.environment.se.Weld (the one you are looking for)
- org.jboss.weld.Weld

I suppose you imported the second one.
(I just downloaded weld-2.0.3.Final and the code works fine for me.)

Yes, that will be it. I've just looked back at the docs and it's really not clear at all. Perhaps the example should either reference the fully qualified name or should include an import line?

Who would update that documentation?

I think the documentation should use FQCNs. I've created https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-1472
