A bean with @Dependent scope is not seen by Weld, but in the reference at 15.6.2 it says it does.

Take for example the greeter quickstart. In beans.xml I say: bean-discovery-mode="all". There is a Resources bean, which has no annotation. In weld-probe I see that the scope is @Dependent. Now I make bean-discovery-mode="annotated". Then greeter does not deploy anymore, and I when I give Resources @ApplicationScoped it deploys.

But in the Weld reference says in 15.6.2 Implicit bean archive that @Dependent is a bean defining annotation. So why do I have to give Resources an @ApplicationScoped annotation?

I found out that when bean-discovery-mode="annotated", it differs if the Resources class in the greeter quickstart the scope @Dependent has or not. If it has no annotation, greeter does not deploy; if it has the @Dependent annotation, it deploys.

When the bean-discovery-mode="all", and Resources has no annotation, it gets one: @Dependent. So greeter deploys! You can see the @Dependent scope in weld-probe.
