CDI Weld ignoring exclusions

Question

I am using Weld SE to use CDI in my application. Since some libraries may have @Inject annotations and and don't want to let Weld scan all the libraries. Therefore I wanted to exclude certain package prefixes in beans.xml:

<beans xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee
       http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_1.xsd"
version="1.1" bean-discovery-mode="all">
    <scan>
        <exclude name="com.**" />
        <exclude name="org.**" />
        <exclude name="io.**" />
        <exclude name="groovy.**" />
    </scan>
</beans>

but while executing I get the following error:

I'am using following weld version:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.weld.se</groupId>
        <artifactId>weld-se</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.1.Final</version>
    </dependency>

How do I prevent Weld from trying to scan those classes, what exactly fails here?

I checked the format of my beans.xml at least ten times, it should be correct. I want to exclude all those package prefixes. The project is a maven project with all dependencies in the jar (org.** should prevent weld from scanning itself).

Answer 1

it may be due to not cleaned up classes from an old deploy/compile cycle, e.g. a missing mvn clean or old class file removal: https://vaadin.com/forum#!/thread/10600799/10604748
