Looking forward to using the Guice Plugin

[Matt McCutchen]

In the past few days, I have come to understand that what Guice offers
in convenience is exactly what it sacrifices in code
understandability. Guice lets you code without specifying where the
dependencies come from, and in turn, when you want to know where they
come from, the code doesn't say. So I have high hopes for this plugin
to ease some of the frustration of learning the workings of a new
Guice-based application.

Is any further development planned? Is it something I should pick up
myself if I want it?

Hello Matt,

I'm glad to hear you've found guice, it is a wonderful thing. I see
you've already reached the conclusion that I had a few years back:
it's need IDE tools to become truly effective.

Truth be told I haven't worked on the plugin in quite some time, and
I've always hoped someone would volunteer to pick up where I left off.
I've moved on from coding to other things and am not sure I even have
the skills to keep it up to date anymore.

If you'd be interested in taking a role in the plugin development, I'd
be happy to have you as a member of the project. I should warn you
that it is not an easy plugin to work with since there appeared to be
now way around the need to spin off a separate process from inside the
plugin, but I believe that I encapsulated things well enough. I am
also not certain how the changes to guice over the past couple years
interact with the plugin in its current form so there may be a fair
amount of work.

Please let me know if you'd like to know more and/or if you'd like me
to add you to the project. I'm willing to help you out getting
acquainted as much as possible though it has been a while.

Thanks for writing,
-Darren Creutz

Understood. I don't have an idea yet of whether the plugin will be
valuable enough to my work for me to get involved in the maintenance
in a big way. When I do, I will follow up.

Thanks for the prompt response!
