Simon provided more helpful pointers than I can think of ATM, so I will 
comment on Spring itself.
Do we really need Spring? We use so little of it, only for selecting 
factories' implementations AFAICS.
Maybe it would make sense to:
1 - only get spring-core for Maven (I think such a more strimmed-down 
artifact exists, just not sure of its name)
2 - remove the only known to me implementation leakage related to 
Spring, that is Yanel.getBeanFactory, which I hope we do not use (at 1st 
sight it seems there are also methods to get all the factories we need 
that are defined in Spring anyway)
3 - decide if we want to keep Spring for the moment, or do the (for now) 
little work manually
4 (maybe) - move to Web Beans which may become the JDK standard for DI
