---------------------------------------

The "Forum Reference" link is dead, quoting relevant part here.

Injection for static members has a couple of problems: 
* A class can be shared between multiple applications, and the Java EE spec does not define rules for this.
* Outside Java EE, it's difficult to define exactly when a static member is injected.

Nevertheless, there are a couple of great usecases for this: 
* logger injection,
* injection for entity classes, and
* injection into objects with a passivating scope.

So we do need to support something here. Perhaps it would be enough to say: 
* no static injection in shared libraries, and
* static fields are injected before the very first instance of a bean is instantiated (but then static injection would not be supported for non-bean classes).
