Hi,

I have a composite that needs to support quite a few CDI event generators and observer methods. I would like to minimize the number of injected Event fields and dynamically fire events using the Event.select() method. While the simple event case works:

@Qualifier
  @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
  @Target({ ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.PARAMETER })
  public static @interface MyQualifier {
  }
...
@Inject
@MyQualifier
  Event<MyEvent> myEvent;
... 
myEvent.fire(new MyEvent())
...
public void eventListener(@Observes @MyQualifier MyEvent event) {

I am having problems with more advanced event triggering. For example, if I try to use an extension of AnnotationLiteral to dynamically fire an event I receive this compilation error:

public static class MyQualifierAnnotationLiteral extends AnnotationLiteral<Topic>{

  }

[ERROR] Line 129: No source code is available for type javax.enterprise.util.AnnotationLiteral<T>; did you forget to inherit a required module?

Also if I try to use an enumeration as an annotation parameter

public enum MyEnum{
     SomeValue;
}
@Qualifier
  @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
  @Target({ ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.PARAMETER })
  public static @interface MyQualifier {
     MyEnum value();
  }

MyQualifierImpl implements MyQualifier{
     MyEnum value(){
          return MyEnum.SomeValue;
     }
     
@Override
  public Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType() {
     return MyQualifier.class
  }
}
...
@Inject
  Event<MyEvent> myEvent;
...
myEvent.select(new MyQualifierImpl() ).fire(new MyEvent());
...
public void eventListener(@Observes @MyQualifier(SomeValue) @MyQualifier MyEvent event) {

The qualifier is ignored and the observer method is invoked for every MyEvent fired.
