The Apache OpenWebBeans Team is proud to announce the release of

Apache OpenWebBeans 1.0.0-alpha-1

Apache OpenWebBeans is an implementation of JSR-299 “Context and
Dependency Injection for Java” and JSR-330 “atinject”. OpenWebBeans has
a modular structure and provides Dependency Injection scaling from Java
SE environments up to EE6 servers with complicated ClassLoader hierarchies.

1.0.0-alpha-1 implements the latest API, passes the JSR-330 TCK and
almost passes the JSR-299 standalone TCK (waiting for a few bugs in the
TCK to get fixed).
