Welcome to Apache OpenWebBeans

  
* What is OpenWebBeans?

  OpenWebBeans is an Apache License v2.0 implementation of the JSR-299
  "Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java (TM) EE platform" specification.
  
  In addition to the implementation of the specification, the project provides a set
  of WebBeans components and integration plugins exposing functionality of other
  Apache Software Foundation projects.

  Apache OpenWebBeans is based on a plugin architecture. The OpenWebBeans Core is
  strictly Java SE only. Additional functionality, like JSF-1 support, JSF-2 support
  JPA support, JMS support, etc can be added by simply dropping the respective
  OpenWebBeans plugin JAR into your classpath.
