The CDI EG is considering standardizing fine-grained control over what classes within a jar module.
The proposal today is to take the xml we defined in Weld as a starting point
http://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/latest/en-US/html/configure.html#d0e5767 and standardize it, making any improvements needed on the way.
A number of CDI EG members have suggested that it would be useful to standardize this not only for CDI, but for all Java EE specs, allowing a user to control, from one deployment descriptor (e.g. scan.xml) what is / isn't scanned for all technologies in Java EE.
I know David Blevins has a similar proposal, somewhere, but not sure where.
I wanted to raise this issue here, before the CDI EG goes off and does this on it's own.
WDYT?
