Weld Meets Jakarta EE 9 Most of you surely know that Jakarta EE 9 is on the horizon; slowly but steadily it is making its way into Java world. And we are not far behind, in fact we have just released Weld 4.0.0.Alpha2 which is an implementation of CDI 3.0! You heard that right, in Jakarta EE 9, all APIs have bumped their major versions; CDI turned 3.0 and so...

Other than that we have tried to address some dodgy issues with possible race conditions and leaks - see for yourself! Fixes and improvements...

Fixes and improvements: Weld API/SPI Weld Core WeldAlterableContext#clearAndSet() was incorrectly leaving some caches behind (WELD-2566...

Weld 3.1.0.Final and Weld API 3.1.Final are now up for grabs. What’s in it for you? There are quite a few new things in the mix - InterceptionFactory improvements, new API clases and methods, improvements to class defining for integrators in preparation for JDK 12.

It comes with few security manager related fixes and Weld is of course compliant with it. If you are running on a servlet or in SE, you may need to update it yourself, in case of EE it usually falls to...

I’m pleased to announce a couple of changes coming to the Weld team. First of all, Matěj Novotný will be taking over the leadership of the project. Matěj has proven himself to be an excellent engineer, contributing not only to Weld projects but also to the CDI specification and TCK development. I’m really happy that I can hand over the leadership to this guy! Matěj’s primary...

Weld 3.0.4.Final is here along with Weld API 3.0.SP3 - make sure you update both. In this release we took first steps towards eliminating illegal access in JDK 10+. The good news is, Weld should now be able to run with --illegal-access=deny.
