Bug Report: CDI tries to instantiate interface (Jersey 2.30)

[mkarg]

Description

An interface annotated by @Path found in a WAR file results in a warning that CDI cannot instantiate it.

Expected Outcome

No instance is created, and no warning is found in the log file.

Current Outcome

No instance is created, but a warning is found in the log file:

Component of class interface mypackage.MyInterface cannot be instantiated and will be ignored.

Steps to reproduce

Deploy a WAR file containing an interface annotated by @Path(""), then send a request against the base URL of the WAR file.

Workaround

Remove @Path from the interface implemented by the resource class, but solely use @Path directly at the resource class itself.

Notes

Originally reported against Payara, but I assume it is a Jersey bug.
