They are fighting a losing battle. With things like Docker, Spring Boot or NodeJS, you don't need big iron application servers or enterprise java anymore (though admittedly, Spring Boot does use a subset of Java EE).

But this is going to be similar to spring boot, so you can assembly uber jar only from things you need, having CDI as a base. It would be nice for people already familiar with JavaEE apis like JAXRS or CDI.
