Package javax.inject Description
</H2>
<P>
Provides annotations for dependency injection. Enables portable objects
but leaves external dependency configuration up to <i>the injector</i>
implementation.
<p>For the purposes of this specification, the injector is anything that
injects objects. Injector implementations can take many forms. An injector
could rely on code generation or reflection. An injector could configure
itself using XML, annotations, a DSL (domain-specific language), or even
plain Java code. A "container", for some definition, can be an injector,
but this specification aims to minimize restrictions on injector
implementations.
<p>For example, an injector that uses compile time code generation may not
even have its own run time representation. Other injectors may not be able
to generate code at all, neither at compile nor run time.
