Incorrect DefinitionException fired for @Produces @Dependent WildCard<?> method() when bootstrapping.

In: org.jboss.weld.bean.AbstractProducerBean

The "else if" conditional also needs to check for "!Dependent.class.equals(getScope())"

for (Type type : getWeldAnnotated().getActualTypeArguments())
{
if (!Dependent.class.equals(getScope()) && type instanceof TypeVariable<?>)

{ throw new DefinitionException(PRODUCER_METHOD_WITH_TYPE_VARIABLE_RETURN_TYPE_MUST_BE_DEPENDENT, getWeldAnnotated()); }

else if (type instanceof WildcardType)

{ throw new DefinitionException(PRODUCER_METHOD_WITH_WILDCARD_RETURN_TYPE_MUST_BE_DEPENDENT, getWeldAnnotated()); }

}
