Weld 2.4.7.Final

2018-3-20 release Matej Novotny

Weld 2.4.7.Final is now available. It includes multiple important bugfixes, many of them focused around proxy generation and/or invocation.

Note	Weld 2.4 now enters maintenance mode - there will be no further active development on Weld 2. We will be channeling our efforts into Weld 3 instead.

Notable fixes and improvements:

Weld Core:
- Proxy-related issues:
  - Fixed possible NPE with multiple deployments one of which uses relaxed construction configuration (WELD-2448)
  - BeanManager.getInjectableReference was using unnecessarily strict checks for proxyability (WELD-2466)
  - Proxy serialization is now container agnostic (WELD-2447)
  - Fix invocation of private observer method (WELD-2443)
    
    This only applies to private observer method which is not intercepted but is declared on a bean which has some other intercepted methods
  - Correct proxy generation for class hierarchy with abstract class and generics (WELD-2470)
- Other issues:
  - Minor optimization in internal structures of InterceptionModel (WELD-2455)
  - Improve exception logging for DeploymentException (WELD-2453)
  - Prevent NPE if ProtectionDomain.getPermissions() returns null (WELD-2464)
Weld SE
- Fields in org.jboss.weld.environment.se.Weld are now protected (WELD-2451)
- Allow to register custom BeanArchiveHandler using ServiceLoader mechanism (WELD-2450)
  - This applies to SE and Servlet environments
Other
- With OSGi, javax.ejb is now imported optionally (WELD-2458)
- Weld now uses SpotBugs (a successor to FindBugs) (WELD-2462)
- module-info, if present, is now correctly ignored during bean discovery phase (WELD-2459)
