HK2 promotion today (2.3.0-b06)

We are doing an HK2 promotion today that will include a few new features:

1. Added an annotation that marks another annotation as being an
injection point indicator. It is called @InjectionPointIndicator. This
is useful if you have a situation where you are adding an injection
resolver in the same transaction as those whose might have those
injection points.
2. Added the ability to use interception and eventing together (or is
this a bug fix?)
3. Added in support for using mockito with hk2 (thanks saden)
4. All proxies for the AOP interception feature will now implement the
AOPProxyCtl interface

There is also the start of a new feature called hk2-configuration which
is not finished yet, but we are promoting in order to get some early
feedback on it from internal customers. It allows configuration values
to be injected into hk2 services based on some external configuration
format (such as XML or Properties files). There will be more on this new
feature in upcoming promotions.

Give the new stuff a try and tell us your thoughs!
