William Drai has blogged about his experience integrating Granite DS and CDI.

I've written a couple of posts about using @Alternative to achieve deployment-time polymorphism. What I've never really talked about is its role in CDI modularity.

This is just too cool. That's a test coverage report. It doesn't report coverage of the RI code by the TCK. It reports coverage of the CDI specification by the TCK.

I'm pleased to announce the release of Weld 1.0.0 - the announcements have been flowing in over the last few days, but this is my favorite!

Mark Little, the CTO of JBoss, blogged about our vision for component models in JBoss platforms - he gives a great overview, describing how Seam (and JSR-299/Weld) will form the core programming model.

I've posted the CDI TCK 1.0.0 on seamframework.org. You can read the docs or download the TCK for your use.
