      @ApplicationScoped
      public class Foo {
      
          public static void main(String[] args) {
              WeldContainer weld = new Weld().initialize();
              weld.event().select(MyEvent.class).fire(new MyEvent());
          }
      
          static class MyEvent {
          }
      
          @Qualifier
          @Target({FIELD, PARAMETER})
          @Retention(RUNTIME)
          public @interface SomeQualifier {
          }
      
          @PostConstruct
          void init() {
              System.out.println("INIT FOO");
          }
      
          void onEvent(@Observes MyEvent e) {
              System.out.println("EVENT FOO");
          }
      
          @Alternative
          @Specializes
          static public class Bar extends Foo {
      
              @Override
              void init() {
                  System.out.println("INIT BAR");
              }
      
              @Override
              void onEvent(@Observes @SomeQualifier MyEvent e) {
                  System.out.println("EVENT BAR");
              }
          }
      
      }
      

      The expected output is:

      INIT BAR

      The actual output is:

      INIT BAR
      EVENT BAR

      Removing the @SomeQualifier annotation on the Bar#onEvent() method results in:

      INIT BAR
      EVENT BAR
      EVENT BAR

      Removing also the @Observes annotation on the Bar#onEvent() method results in:

      INIT BAR
      EVENT BAR

      One or several of these outcomes is wrong. Also, section 4.2 of the spec says that observer methods are only inherited if the subclass doesn't override the method. I'm confused why everyone (e.g. https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDITCK-186) seems to assume the exact opposite.
