I'd like to enable such support to be built portably.

Seems like RuntimeDelegate would be a reasonable place to put such a
method. Something like:
<T> List<MessageBodyReader<T>> getMessageBodyReaders(MediaType
mediaType, Class<T> type, Type genericType, Annotation annotations[]);
<T> List<MessageBodyWriter<T>> getMessageBodyWriters(MediaType
mediaType, Class<T> type, Type genericType, Annotation annotations[]);
The methods would return a list of providers whose @[Produce|
Consume]Mime matches mediaType and that return true from their
is[Readable|Writable](Class<?> type, Type genericType, Annotation
annotations[])
Would that work ?
Shame you can't do:
<P,T> List<P<T>> getProviders(Class<P> providerType, MediaType
mediaType, Class<T> type, Type genericType, Annotation annotations[]);
