Last I checked, the standard library wasn't trying to implement an IoC container. Your comment is actually fairly amusing, given that Spring was developed originally as an answer to the overly abstract mess that was the original version of Enterprise JavaBeans.

Interestingly, things like @Inject came after Spring, and were inspired by Spring and a number of other containers.

I was just referring to the standard library in J2SE. Of course it isn't trying to do an IoC container - but there was a comment above about whether or not this is a "Java" issue and it really is not. My last contact with this was before EJB 3 so I wouldn't even try to speak to how Spring and J2EE have evolved to help manage complexity.
