The way I was thinking to fix this was to continue to look for @Config (or whatever name it should have) but add an annotation to it dynamically on the injection point. Then change the producer method to look for that annotation to decouple the two.
The reason I bring this up, when looking at OSGi support, it came up that CDI was a required asset. I was able to work around it for now, but realistically to run the non-CDI based components I shouldn't need to list CDI as a dependency.
