With the ApplicationContext in place, it should be possible to set up objects in the application scope that reference each other.

For example:
Some methods from ImageFactory require an IResourceManager and the InternalImageFactory to work. Currently these are obtained by calls to RWTFactory.

Alternatively the ImageFactory could have fields 'resourceManager' and 'internalImageFactoy' that reference the respective instances.
What is missing then is some way to set/wire these fields before the ImageFactory is made available for access from the outside. 
One approach would be @Inject annotations (depends on bug 340310), though I am not sure if the amount of objects to be wired is enough to justify such a general approach.
Another way could be to extend the ApplicationScope to call a set of distinct 'Runnables' that do the wiring in a object-specific way after all objects have been instantiated.
