Hi Laird,

Yes AnnotatedType represents type which could possibly include AnnotatedMethods and AnnotatedFields (check the API cdi/AnnotatedType.java at master · cdi-spec/cdi · GitHub ). AnnotatedTypeConfigurator is new API which should help you (and make it easier) to configure this AnnotatedType and all its Annotated members. Without this API (in CDI 1.2) you basically need to implement everything on your own. Some example of AnnotatedTypeConfigurator usage can be found in CDI TCK - cdi-tck/ProcessAnnotatedTypeObserver.java at master · cdi-spec/cdi-tck · GitHub Hope this helps little bit.

And yes, the AnnotatedTypeConfigurator#add() javadoc is wrong and should be fixed - https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-646.
