Cool - btw, I've just committed a fix that allows Sisu to work without requiring @Typed:

   http://git.eclipse.org/c/sisu/org.eclipse.sisu.inject.git/commit/?id=0a60e61c29f53634cf94203addfc94ecdfc54a0f

Also, all the bundles required to run Sisu can be found in Eclipse/Orbit R20120526062928:

   http://git.eclipse.org/c/sisu/org.eclipse.sisu.inject.git/tree/org.eclipse.sisu.inject/build.target

( this list includes optional bundles - it's used by Tycho to setup the compilation classpath )
