Hello,

I would like to use the DI implementation of e4 outside of e4 (similar to Google Guice).

Is that possible? If yes, any pointer how to do this?

Best regards, Lars

Pointers, probably not :-)

But it should be usable with 3 plugins: org.eclipse.e4.core.services,
org.eclipse.e4.core.services.annotations, and javax.inject

org.eclipse.e4.core.services.context.spi.ContextInjectionFac tory to
inject and make (instantiate and then inject) an object. It also
supports an "invoke" (allows you to call a method with inject
parameters). Then all you need is an IEclipseContext full of values
from org.eclipse.e4.core.services.context.EclipseContextFactory :-)

Later,
PW
