OWB-1.2.x¶

OWB-1.2.x implements the CDI-1.0 specification and internally already CDI-1.1. It uses a shaded version of ASM-5 for building our proxies and needs JavaSE 5 as minimum version.

Binaries¶

The binary distribution contains all OpenWebBeans modules.

Hint: OpenWeBeans has dependencies to several other jars and just adding our jars manually would lead to ClassNotFoundException if you choose not to use maven. The jars you need depends on what modules you include. They are all contained in the binary distribution. We will try to add complete lists of this in the future, meanwhile please ask on the list or maybe look at the pom.xml for the modules you want to use.
