I am pleased to announce the 1.0.0-M1 release of OpenWebBeans. OpenWebBeans will be an ASL-licensed implementation of the Web Beans Specification which is defined as JSR-299. This M1 release contains the parts of the specification that enables the developers to start and see functional aspects of the JSR-299. Please look at the README file contained in the distribution for further informations. In addition to the implementation of the specification, the project aims to create a new set of WebBeans components exposing functionality of other Apache Foundation projects. Feel free to ask any questions about the OpenWebBeans and M1-Release via our user forums.

Gurkan, Let me be the first to congratulate you on TSS. It is very encouraging to see a strong development effort by Apache given the long history of success and leadership in open source. I was somewhat dissapointed to hear Bob Lee/Google is no longer contributing to WebBeans in favor of the Guice 2 effort. I think an offering from Google in addition to Red Hat/JBoss, Caucho, etc would have been fantastic. Good job and good luck again, Reza ----------------------- Independent Consultant Author, EJB 3 in Action Expert Group Member, Java EE 6 and EJB 3.1

Yes,but this is the M1 release so it does not contain all the features in the specification.

Thanks you very much Reza. We are trying to do the best in the Apache Incubator to create useful and very very open and free project :)

Is this release comply with the latest Spec Java Context and Dependency Injection which has been approved several while ago?

Congrats and good luck with the project :-)

Thanks a lot Gavin. Without you, it would be impossible to implement this specification :) Cheers; Gurkan Erdogdu
