Ah! that is on my TODO list and was thinking about how to tackle this
just the other day :-) but looks like you have more of a concrete idea
than I. Let me know when "that day" arrives...
Although Jersey can inject onto fields of Guice-managed classes i
really wanted something that would work with constructor parameters as
well, or in fact any Guice managed class even if it is not a resource
class. I was wondering if i could wrap the Jersey injection framework
so it would work for injection of anything configured in Jersey. There
should also be a way of making this reasonably efficient as well
(Jersey has optimizations to avoid re-doing lots of reflection work)

You can add fully qualified class names of resource classes to the
file "META-INF/services/jersey-server-components", i modified
ServiceFinder to support such files where the classes are not
constrained to implementing an interface.
