我在哪里可以找到@Inject jar

Question

I'm following the MVC unit test instructions from this site , but I cannot find the jar for the @Inject annotation. Does anybody know where the jar is?

Answer 1

Via Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.inject</groupId>
  <artifactId>javax.inject</artifactId>
  <version>1</version>
</dependency>

Or from the Project Home Page: http://code.google.com/p/atinject/

Also, this MvnRepository.com page provides the necessary configurations for other build tools like Ivy, Gradle etc.

Answer 2

Using javaee-api instead of javax.inject I ran into a bunch of issues.

After some digging I found out that you need to add it with scope provided or otherwise it will add a Listener ( com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener ) at runtime.

Another issue is that apparently the implementation to inject is different. Fields annotated with @inject remained null. By replacing the official sun jar with the javax.inject , this no longer happened.

Note that i'm not an expert, I might be running into side-effects, but figuring this out took me such a long time, that I felt I had to share my findings so far.

Answer 3

You can use Sun's official:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax</groupId>
    <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
    <version>6.0</version>
</dependency>

Cheers!
