Weld runtime packaged as an OSGi bundle

There is a newer version: 6.0.0.Beta4

package org.jboss.weld.context;

import javax.enterprise.context.spi.Context;

/**
 * 
 * Lifecycle management for built in contexts. {@link ManagedContext} only
 * allows a context to be activated, deactivated and destroyed. It does not
 * allow the context to be associated with an underlying data store. These
 * operations are defined on {@link BoundContext}.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * Weld provides a number of managed contexts: {@link SessionContext},
 * {@link ConversationContext}, {@link RequestContext}. All these managed
 * contexts are scoped to the thread, and propagation of the backing store
 * between threads is the responsibility of the managed context user.
