+Weld
+====
+
+What is it?
+------------
+
+Weld is the reference implementation of CDI: Contexts and Dependency Injection 
+for the Java EE Platform which is the Java standard for dependency injection and 
+contextual lifecycle management and one of the most important and popular parts 
+of the Java EE platform.
+
+Weld is integrated into many Java EE application servers such as WildFly, 
+JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, GlassFish, Oracle WebLogic and others. 
+Weld can also be used in a Servlet-only environment (Tomcat, Jetty) or plain 
+Java SE environment.
+
+See http://weld.cdi-spec.org for more details.
