Is it possible to grab the CDI container from inside a JUnit test?

Question

Using CDI, is it possible to grab the CDI container?

I was creating a unit test and wanted to access the CDI container from inside the JUnit test.

Since CDI 1.1, you can use CDI.current(). It returns the CDI instance that provides access to the current container.

Depending on the tests you are writting, you could consider Arquillian.
