See my other note, but: actually that might work.  I can't see that
java.net.URLEncoder has anything to *prevent* instantiation.  So if you
can create an instance, I think you can still call static methods on
it.  Injecting the java.land.Class instance still feels more right,
though, for using static methods.

I missed that in other note.  No, you can' do that AFAIK.  You either
call the get("..") method, or you use the square bracket index
notation.  Not parens alone.
