There is a link:

It looks like the link is working again (content for reference):

Looks like the pastie server is down. It might come back, but it seems better to update the link to point to this bug; thanks @rcchan for pulling in the content.

Hi, does this code sample still work in the latest version of Guice? it seems that perhaps PrivateModule changed packages and configurePrivateBindings became configure?
