Your setup is ok for learning CDI in Java SE.

For using CDI in Java EE, you obviously need a Java EE Container, a plain old application with a main method won't do.

Weld is simply telling you that transactions are not available (since you're not running in an EE container), so any transaction-related CDI features will be disabled.

Dependency injection will work in your case, as long as you don't try to inject any Java EE objects or use any CDI features that require a Java EE container.
