jsr299

I was reading a Wikipedia article about Java EE application servers here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Platform,_Enterprise_Edition#Java_EE_5_certified

It says that 2 APIs that Java App Services implement are:

javax.enterprise.inject
javax.enterprise.context

These both relate to application context and dependency injection JSR-299. I had never heard of these APIs before. Does Spring implement these APIs? Would it matter to anyone if they did?
