Exclude jta from quartz. Also do you have a persistence.xml? I'm also guessing you have beans.xml in the correct space.

How can I exclude jta in pom.xml?

Hm, everything looks correct. atm, not sure what to tell you. Try a new project with the basics?

You cannot use CDI with non-managed beans and I suspect the FileConverter class is a non-managed bean, hence @Inject will not work (it's probably instantiated by faces using new which means the container is unaware it exists). I could be wrong of course. One way to overcome this issue is to look up the EntityManager using JNDI, as in:

@FacesConverter("entityFileConverter")
public class FileConverter implements Converter, Serializable {

  private EntityManager entityManager;

  public FileConverter() {
    try {
      final Context ctx = new InitialContext();
      entityManager = (EntityManager) 
            ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/[name of your persistence unit here]");

    } catch (final NamingException ne) {
      ne.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

  @Override
  public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
    Long id = Long.valueOf(value);
    return entityManager.find(File.class, id);
  }

  @Override
  public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
    return ((File)value).getId().toString();
  }
}

I've not tried this code but there appears no reason why it should not work.

CDI works fine in converter normally. I have used it in every entity converter I made for dropdown list values.

Seems like its a specific problem here.

Try to create a producer class with a list of all entities, inject this list in your converter, iterate and pick the value you need.

Some people are saying that CDI in my provided example works, and some people are saying that by definition it cannot.
All I know is that using exact set of versioned dependencies described in my pom.xml, the CDI operations I was attempting to perform do in fact not work.
Who has the magic pom.xml that makes everything work as described in the documentation?

Just try as follow ...

@FacesConverter("entityFileConverter")
public class FileConverter implements Converter, Serializable {
@Inject private EntityManager entityManager;

==>>

import javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped;

@RequestScoped
@FacesConverter("entityFileConverter")
public class FileConverter implements Converter, Serializable {
@Inject private EntityManager entityManager;
