It’s a great pleasure to announce the release of Apache OpenWebBeans-2.0.8
Apache OpenWebBeans-2.x is a CDI container (Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java) and targets the CDI-2.0 specification (JavaEE 8). This is a maintenance release targeting the new CDI 2.0 specification! CDI is a JavaEE standard specification (JSR-365) but fully available under Apache License v2.0. http://cdi-spec.org/ https://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/2.0/cdi-spec.html OpenWebBeans is modularly built and can be used either in pure Java SE, in a Servlet Container like e.g. Tomcat or in fully fledged JavaEE containers. Our core is only 700kByte and thus brings full JavaEE-8 compatibility at a smaller size of most so called ‚micro solutions‘. Distribution packages can be downloaded via https://openwebbeans.apache.org/download.html The release is also available via maven http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/openwebbeans/ We also include an installer scripts in our binary distribution which can be used as easy as: $> unzip openwebbeans-distribution-2.0.8-binary.zip $> cd openwebbeans-distribution-2.0.8 $> ./install_owb_tomcat7.bat /opt/your/apache-tomcat-9.x.x (works with Apache Tomcat7 and 8, 8.5 and 9) OpenWebBeans-2.0.x is included in Apache Meecrowave-1.2.x and the upcoming Apache TomEE-8.x releases.
