That file does not contain @inject details. Only @service details.
The format may have been documented in hk2 project website. John and co have taken a lot of care to document things. If you don't find any such document, then look at the maven plugin that generates this file.
Since anyway you have to scan classes for @inject annotations, you might as well scan @service annotations. That way you don't have to deal with this file format.
John may also point you in some good direction.

Subject: [Asking]About META-INF/hk2-locator/default
Hi JWells,
CC: Sahoo,
I have two questions about META-INF/hk2-locator/default file,
eg. for web-glue.jar,
1. in the default file, whether containing metadata generated by
@Inject? That is to say, if some class in web-glue module defines the
following,
@Inject
private JCDIService jcdiService;
Then, whether generating @Inject related info(JCDIService,...) into
META-INF/hk2-locator/default.
As far as I know, I found META-INF/hk2-locator/default seems to only
write @Service related info.
2. in web-glue.jar's META-INF/hk2-locator/default file, the following,
...
[com.sun.enterprise.web.PEWebContainerFeatureFactoryImpl]S
contract={com.sun.enterprise.web.pluggable.WebContainerFeatureFactory}
name=pe
[com.sun.enterprise.web.ServerConfigLookup]
...
1) whether "S" in
[com.sun.enterprise.web.PEWebContainerFeatureFactoryImpl]S means the
entry is @Service info?
2) [com.sun.enterprise.web.ServerConfigLookup] entry has not "S", I want
to know the meaning?
Finally, if META-INF/hk2-locator/default file does not generate @Inject
info, I wish that @Inject info can be added into the file because on
some scenes, I need to introspect glassfish modules(class file) to find
@Inject info, if the @Inject info can be added into
META-INF/hk2-locator/default file, that will avoid redundant things by
pasing the file directly.
Thanks
