A CDI extension that injects property values into CDI-managed beans. By
simply adding a @Property qualifier to your injection points,
and putting the corresponding property value in a properties file or system
property that can be located by the extension, you can inject properties
for strings, numbers, URLs, etc. By providing your own property converters,
the extension can inject property values of almost any type that has a
well-defined string representation. Moreover, by providing your own
custom resolver, you can resolve property values in practically any manner
that suits the needs of your application.
Pinject is available via Maven Central. You can use Pinject in your application by simply setting up your build system (Maven, Gradle, Ivy, etc) to include the following dependencies. The syntax shown here is for Maven, but you can easily adapt this as needed by the build system for your application.
