@ApplicationPath, @Path, and @Provider are now CDI bean-defining annotations

This rule flags the usage of the @ApplicationPath, @Path, and @Provider annotations. In JAX-RS 2.x a user has to explicitly enable CDI to allow for CDI usage in applications. In RESTful Web Services 3.0 CDI is enabled by default. @ApplicationPath, @Path, and @Provider are CDI bean-defining annotations. All @Path annotated resources will be request-scoped by default. @ApplicationPath and @Provider annotated beans are application-scoped by default. This rule is flagged once per archive.

See CDI and bean-defining annotations for more information on this behavior change.
