This would make initialization more complex, but we could use @
plexus.requirement as is to get spring beans without having to know
they are
managed by spring.
If we think we have a long term requirement for this, then that makes
a lot of sense - and in fact Carlos did something similar for
Continuum with an acegi experiment once I believe.
OTOH - since Archiva is a standalone app it would be best to be
consistent across it since we have that freedom. And actually, because
of the built-in support in webwork and struts2 for spring IOC, the web
layer is the easiest to change if everything else is already migrated,
so there'll be no need for the app itself to primarily be a Plexus run
app (though it might still have some plexus components we'll want to
pick up).
