Yes, assisted injection is supported. Jersey uses the feature heavily.
I noticed that we don't do a gr8 job of saying the words "assisted
injection" on the extensions page, or even on the example.
Here is the page with an example assisted injection:
https://hk2.java.net/2.2.0-b17/extensibility.html#Custom_Injection_Resolvers
Here is an example:
https://hk2.java.net/2.2.0-b17/custom-resolver-example.html
The basic idea is that you can write your own custom injection resolver
for @Inject, and you can inject the existing resolver for @Inject into
that one. In this way you can assist the injection using whatever parts
of the existing resolver that you want to (or you can replace it
completely).
