Linda,
Thanks for the background on the ambiguity. But, my preference would be
to either leave the ambiguity as-is for this MR, or somehow indicate that
Option B (any class that supports injection) is the "minimum" requirement.
If you can't tell, we've been limiting our annotation processing to only
those classes that support injection. We have a concern about the
performance impact of this additional scanning. And, we have a concern
about backwards compatibility -- items that accidentally skated by in the
past may now be flagged by this additional annotation scanning. This
change seems to be introducing too much impact for an MR. I would prefer
that we wait for this type of change until Java EE 8.
Thanks, Kevin
