Kito, Ian, and new co-host Daniel discuss the new DeltaSpike CDI project, plus new releases of PrimeFaces, MyFaces, ICEfaces, Spring, Hibernate, RichFaces, Mojarra, Seam, Artifactory, JRebel, and more.

NOTE: In the podcast, Kito mentions “Jason Lee Rubinger.” He should have said “Andrew Lee Rubinger.” Our apologies.

NOTE: In the previous newscast we gave the impression that MyFaces CODI was a CDI implementation. It’s certainly not — it’s a set of CDI extensions that run on top of a CDI implementation such as Weld or OpenWebBeans.
