Well, picocontainer is wort learning about. It is
really good for a lot of puproses ( mostly simplyfying
your code by eliminating management / wiring stuff )
It also forces you to provide maningfull constructors.
( this is great for testing. )

You seen xdoclet invocation - there you specify
plugins and template engines. Everything lands in
internal picocontainer ( see org.nanocontainer.ant.*
or alike )
then xdoclet / generama registers metadata provider,
and then container is started. this means, it finds
everything imlpementing org.picocontainer.Startable
( plugins do it by chance ) , instantiates them
and cals start().
container takes care about instatiaton and injecting
necessary components.

I would say this is for historical reasons. ( and
happened before I joined ).
