So...sorry, I am still confused. :-( If I look at the Maven and JSR 330 guide, especially with regard to plugins ( http://maven.apache.org/maven-jsr330.html#How_to_use_JSR-330_in_plugins), then @Component is not used (see line 17 in the code sample). Are you saying this is a mistake?
I think no, you're saying both are fine, and somehow there's no difference (? maybe one is implemented in terms of the other?) but you do say "better use the Plugin Annotations", which was not the impression I got from the JSR-330 guide. Let me ask it this way: May I simply put a Java class, annotated with @Named and (say) @Singleton, in The Right Place somewhere (where is that place? what else would I have to do?), wherever that might be, and trust that some plugin asking for: @Component private Thing thing; …will somehow automagically get my implementation of Thing? (I am specifically looking to supply an implementation of http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/apidocs/org/apache/maven/archetype/ui/generation/ArchetypeGenerationQueryer.html. The archetype plugin "injects" an implementation of it using @Component, which I've read somewhere was somehow routing to Sisu or Guice under the covers. I was hoping that somehow since Guice and/or Sisu are really under the covers that specifying the implementation to be used at this injection point would be simple (otherwise why use injection here?). Thanks for your help so far!) Best, Laird On Wed, Feb 1, 2017 at 12:37 PM Robert Scholte <rfscho...@apache.org> wrote: > @Component works for sure.
