To use @Service you must
a) run the hk2-inhabitant-generator as part of your build in order to
produce the META-INF/hk2-locator/default file. You can look at this
file to see if it looks reasonable (it should have your services in there)
b) Ensure that when you boot hk2 you tell it to read those files in (it
does not do this automatically). The easiest way to do this is with this:
https://hk2.java.net/2.2.0-b25/apidocs/org/glassfish/hk2/utilities/ServiceLocatorUtilities.html#createAndPopulateServiceLocator%28%29
I do not currently monitor stackOverflow for hk2, but I will now!
