I'm initiating myself to Google Guice.
I have a simple question :
What is the difference between the javax.inject's @Inject annotation and the com.google.inject's @Inject one ?
Thanks.

Package javax. inject. This package specifies a means for obtaining objects in such a way as to maximize reusability, testability and maintainability compared to traditional approaches such as constructors, factories, and service locators (e.g., JNDI).
@Inject annotates constructors and methods that determine what an object needs to be initialized. There are also a lot of other annotations that determine how Guice works. But simply annotating objects isn't enough; you also have to configure them with Guice bindings.
@Inject and @Autowired both annotations are used for autowiring in your application. @Inject annotation is part of Java CDI which was introduced in Java 6, whereas @Autowire annotation is part of spring framework. Both annotations fulfill same purpose therefore, anything of these we can use in our application. Sr.
The behaviour of the @Autowired annotation is similar to the @Inject annotation. The only difference is that the @Autowired annotation is part of the Spring framework. This annotation has the same execution paths as the @Inject annotation, listed in order of precedence: Match by Type.
javax.inject is a specification derived from google's work (and others)
Difference can be found in Google Guice Wiki
