Can the classpath scanning be controlled in Weld?

Question

I was playing with Weld-SE (Java SE) and noticed that if there are a lot of JARs in the classpath, the JVM startup time runs into several seconds.

Isn't there a way to specify/restrict the scan path as a package pattern or path pattern like in Apache Ant or AspectJ?

PS: Registration on Weld forum just does not work - it keeps saying "your password is trivial"

Starting with weld 1.1.0, it is possible according to Weld reference documentation :

<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
       xmlns:weld="http://jboss.org/schema/weld/beans" 
       xsi:schemaLocation="
          http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/beans_1_0.xsd
          http://jboss.org/schema/weld/beans http://jboss.org/schema/weld/beans_1_1.xsd">
    <weld:scan>
        <weld:exclude name="mypackage.MyClass"/>
    </weld:scan>
</beans>
