@Context vs @Inject inconsistencies

[barchetta]

This might just be my ignorance, but we seem to have inconsistencies as to when to use @Inject and when to use @Context. If I am in the weeds here it would be good if somebody could articulate the simple rule our customers should follow to know when to use what.

An example of the problem using Helidon 3.2.0 and the MicroProfile quickstart. In SimpleGreetResource

    @Inject
    private Tracer myTracer;

    @Context
    private ServerRequest serverRequest;

To inject io.opentracing.Tracer I had to use @Inject (could not use @Context).

To inject io.helidon.webserver.ServerRequest I had to use @Context (could not use @Inject).

Is this intentional? Or just what ended up being implemented.

Concensus is that we should add a CDI provider for ServerRequest so that you can inject with @Inject
