Seems the Weld issue is already being addressed (it's a small change
and one I've already done locally, it seems to work OK with my initial
tests). Except of course for the longer-standing problem of no
injection in Listeners...it would be fantastic if that could be done.

I suppose the current GlassFish situation will drive this even more.

For our needs, the perfect application server is one with a highly
performant, lean core, simple configuration, and the ability to easily
add selected JEE API implementations (CDI, JAX-RS, etc.) as needed.
Few apps actually need the whole shebang of JEE, so I'd love to see
Jetty progress with this kind of scenario in mind.

Thanks for the helpful reply, much appreciated.
