Guice Deuce
May 19th, 2009 | Published in Google Code
Two years ago, Bob Lee and Kevin Bourrillion open sourced Google Guice 1.0, a lightweight Java dependency injection framework. Guice takes the pain out of writing and maintaining Java applications big and small. Guice has gained a great deal of traction both inside and outside of Google. Almost every Java-based application at Google is also a Guice-based application; the list includes AdWords, Google Docs, Gmail, and even YouTube. Open source users run Guice in everything from file-sharing software to ATMs. They've even written two books about this Jolt-award-winning framework.
Today, we're releasing Guice 2. The minimally-sized API extensions introduced by Guice 2 will have a majorly positive impact on the size and maintainability of your code. We closely scrutinized each addition, carefully balancing maintainability and flexibility. Here are a few of my favorite new features:

We closely scrutinized each addition, carefully balancing maintainability and flexibility. Here are a few of my favorite new features:
- Provider methods eliminate the boilerplate of manually-constructed dependencies.
- Module overrides allow you to tweak a production module for a unit test or QA deployment.
- Private modules enable compartmentalized configuration, simplifying module reuse.
