Annotation Type Inject

@Target(value=FIELD)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface Inject

Represents an annotation that, if attached, automatically fills fields with their dependencies when a module gets loaded. This will also result in a topological sorting of modules to (hopefully) prevent any dependency issues.

There are some special cases of "dependencies" that will get resolved automatically and handled differently. Some of these special cases also take the from() parameter into account, if you want to get objects from other modules (cross-dependency injection).

• Logger - If the field is a logger this will be filled with a module-specific logger instance. No cross-dependency injection
• ModuleInformation - Holds the current module's information or the information of the specified one.
