weld-osgi-bundle 3.0.0.Alpha16 is not compatible with cdi-api 2.0-EDR1 in osgi-wise

[mulderbaba]

osgi-bundle imports package javax.enterprise.inject.spi.builder but this package does not exist in cdi-api 2.0.-EDR1 but  it exists in the previous version 2.0.Alpha4

Hi Mert,

Weld 3.0.0.Alpha16 is aligned with CDI API 2.0.Alpha4 (this version of CDI API is later than EDR1).

Hi Mert Caliskan

Weld 3.0.0.Alpha16 is based on CDI 2.0.Alpha4 (not on EDR1). One of the additions there were the Configurators API - see CDI code.

In the release flow of CDI 2.0, first came EDR1, then came Alpha releases. Therefore Alpha 4 is the latest release ATM.

All Alpha releases are unofficial releases which allow us (Weld team) to synchronize our efforts with current CDI development and provide first implementations of new features.

Does that answer your question? Or did you mean anything else?

Thanks for the prompt reply Martin,

the pom.xml of weld-osgi-bundle was not giving any details about it, maybe it'd be better to have cdi-api dep. with exact version in provided scope. the only dependency definition about cdi exists in weld-core-parent but it's related to tck.

this exactly answers my question Matej, since I did a string comparison on the versions, I thought EDR is the latest release. thanks for pointing out.
