Is it possible to configure Jersey 2.26.x that it solely depends on Spring for injection instead of HK2? I know Jersey is nowadays compatible with Spring, but is it also possible to get completely rid of HK2?

No it isn't. Jersey uses many special features of hk2 (such as good integration with Spring and Guice) in order to function

    Starting in 2.26, Jersey actually got rid of HK2 as a hard dependency. It [stole some of your classes](https://github.com/jersey/jersey/tree/master/core-common/src/main/java/org/glassfish/jersey/internal/inject), added its own packaging, and now makes the DI provider pluggable through an InjectionManager. There's currently [CDI and HK2](https://github.com/jersey/jersey/tree/master/inject) implementations. – Paul Samsotha Aug 10 '17 at 23:39
  • I guess that's true for customer applications. They still use hk2 heavily internally – jwells131313 Aug 15 '17 at 12:56
