According to spec: "...the @New qualifier may be used, allowing the application to obtain a @New qualified bean, as defined in Section 3.12, @New qualified beans" (CDI 1.0; chapter 5.6. Programmatic lookup).

However using programmatic lookup with @New qualifier like:

@Inject @New Instance<Foo> foo;

results in:

org.jboss.weld.exceptions.UnsatisfiedResolutionException: WELD-001308 Unable to resolve any beans for Types: [class org.jboss.cditck.arquillian.instance.Foo]; Bindings: [@javax.enterprise.inject.New(value=org.jboss.cditck.arquillian.instance.Foo.class)]

after trying to obtain reference via get() method.

Following code works ok:

@Inject @New Foo foo;
