Weld brings in JSF implementation

[glassfishrobot]

This issue tracks the work being done to understand why the JSF implementation resolved by weld when the domain is started, and to see if this dependency can be made "lazy", i.e., that JSF would not actually be brought in until it is actually used.

• printModuleStats() in com/sun/enterprise/v3/server/AppServerStartup prints the current INSTALLED/RESOLVED/ACTIVE state of the application server modules just before startup is complete. Please find attached the module status for a fresh install and an analysis of web, jsf and weld modules.
• osgi-web-container is started after the application server is started and hence can be taken out of this discussion.
• weld-osgi-bundle is RESOLVED (and not INSTALLED) to satisfy JSR299 API and weld SPI dependencies.
• weld-integration is INSTALLED because it has sniffers etc.
• weld-integration, web.jsf-connector and its dependency mojarra-jsf-impl is also INSTALLED. The JSF implementation is not RESOLVED or ACTIVE yet and so we aren't sure how making these deps lazy would cause performance improvement.

We cannot remove the dependency from weld-integration to JSF implementation as this is an integral part of the CDI functionality. Making the relationship between weld-integration and jsf-impl lazy would give us very little benefit and would not be useful as the weld implementation would be non-compliant without a JSF implementation.

So, the recommendation is that we can't do much in the weld-integration bundle's side and hence I am closing this issue.
