<i>Google Guice</i> (pronounced "juice") is an ultra-lightweight dependency
 injection framework.  Please refer to the Guice
 <a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd2fhx4z_5df5hw8">User's Guide</a>
 for a gentle introduction.

 <p>The principal public APIs in this package are:

 <dl>
 <dt><A HREF="../../../com/google/inject/Inject.html" title="annotation in com.google.inject"><CODE>Inject</CODE></A>
 <dd>The annotation you will use in your implementation classes to tell Guice
     where and how it should send in ("inject") the objects you depend on
     (your "dependencies").

 <dt><A HREF="../../../com/google/inject/Module.html" title="interface in com.google.inject"><CODE>Module</CODE></A>
 <dd>The interface you will implement in order to specify "bindings" --
     instructions for how Guice should handle injection -- for a particular
     set of interfaces.

 <dt><A HREF="../../../com/google/inject/Binder.html" title="interface in com.google.inject"><CODE>Binder</CODE></A>
 <dd>The object that Guice passes into your <A HREF="../../../com/google/inject/Module.html" title="interface in com.google.inject"><CODE>Module</CODE></A>
     to collect these bindings.

 <dt><A HREF="../../../com/google/inject/Provider.html" title="interface in com.google.inject"><CODE>Provider</CODE></A>
 <dd>The interface you will implement when you need to customize exactly how
     Guice creates instances for a particular binding.
