Recently released JDK 8u60 has revealed a problem in Weld where not all synthetic members were ignored correctly. This has been fixed in 2.2.16.Final, 2.3.0.CR2 and 3.0.0.Alpha14 (not released yet).

We are releasing them to allow the community to test-drive the changes early in the development cycle. We want to shorten...
