> it works. The exception is thrown from within Weld core somewhere. According to the API, @New.value is optional and "defaults the value to the declared type of the injection point", and for Instance, "the required type is the type parameter specified at the injection point". So I think it should be able to take the type parameter and not result in an error. Not sure about this.
> Anyways, NPE should be changed to some more descriptive and friendly exception, describing what is wrong.
