[FIXED] Hibernate makes Weld not initializing in Java SE

Issue

So, I have a basic Java SE program with dependency injection using Weld 1.2.

Everything is working fine, until I throw Hibernate into the mix, with the following pom.xml dependency entries:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax</groupId>
    <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
    <version>7.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.weld.se</groupId>
    <artifactId>weld-se</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.4.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.6.Final</version>
</dependency>

Hibernate being the added dependency, making it break. This is my entry class:

public class EntryPoint {
    public static void main( String[] ARGV ) {
        Weld weld = new Weld();
        WeldContainer container = weld.initialize();

        Application application = container.instance().select(Application.class).get();

        application.testFetch();

        weld.shutdown();
    }
}

When I try to run it after including Hibernate dependency, this is my output:

Solution

This has nothing to do with Hibernate. You're missing jandex from your classpath, which is required in Weld 2.2.x. Verify that you end up with a jandex 1.2 jar on your classpath after building.

Since you're using maven, add this to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss</groupId>
    <artifactId>jandex</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

Why is Hibernate 4.2 using jandex and classmate if its Maven POM defines them as test scope?
