>> Apache DeltaSpike Proposal
>> ======================
>>
>>
>>
>> Abstract
>> ------------
>>
>> Apache DeltaSpike is a collection of JSR-299 (CDI) Extensions for building
>> applications on the Java SE and EE platforms.
>>
>> Proposal
>> ------------
>>
>> Apache DeltaSpike will consist of a number of portable CDI extensions
>> that provide
>> useful features for Java application developers. The goal of Apache
>> DeltaSpike
>> is to create a de-facto standard of extensions that is developed and
>> maintained by the Java community, and to act as an incubator for
>> features that may eventually become part of the various Java SE and
>> EE-related specifications.
>>
>> Background
>> ------------
>>
>> One of the
>> most exciting inclusions of the Java EE6 specification is JSR-299,
>> Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) for Java. CDI builds on other
>> Java EE specifications by defining a contextual component model and
>> typesafe dependency injection framework for managed beans. It also
>> defines a SPI that allows developers to write portable “extensions” that can
>> be
>> used to modify the behaviour of the Java EE platform, by
>> offering additional features not provided by the platform by default.
>> Apache DeltaSpike builds on this portable extensions SPI by providing
>> baseline utilities and CDI Extensions which form the base of almost all
>> CDI applications.
>>
>> Rationale
>> ------------
>>
>> There presently exists a number of open source projects that
>> provide extensions for CDI, such as Apache MyFaces CODI, JBoss Seam3
>> and CDISource. Apache DeltaSpike seeks to unify these efforts by creating
>> an
>> “industry standard” set of extensions, combining the best core features of

>> project also aims to provide a rich, JBoss Arquillian based (license:
>> ALv2), test environment to ensure that DeltaSpike portably runs in all
>> important
>> CDI environments.
>>
>> Initial Goals
>> ------------
>>
>> The initial goals of the Apache DeltaSpike project are to:
>> * Setup the governance structure of the project
>> * Receive code donations from contributing members
>> * Ensure all donated code is appropriately licensed under the Apache

>>
>> * Merge and rename code to reflect new project name
>> * Merge code where feature overlap exists
