In the cases I have looked at these classes would have been loaded in
any case, since they were used either as parameters to methods or return
types from methods. In other cases, it is possible we may want to back
off if we find classes where doing this refactoring would lead to
earlier class loading.
The largest benefit of this refactoring IMO is to move glassfish away
from proprietary HK2 API and to the standard JSR-330 based API.
