/**
 * Annotates members of your implementation class (constructors, methods and fields) into which the
 * {@link Injector} should inject values. The Injector fulfills injection requests for:
 *
 * 
 * Every instance it constructs. The class being constructed must have exactly one of its
 *     constructors marked with {@code @Inject} or must have a constructor taking no parameters. The
 *     Injector then proceeds to perform field and method injections.
 * 
Pre-constructed instances passed to {@link Injector#injectMembers}, {@link
 *     shaded.shaded.com.google.inject.binder.LinkedBindingBuilder#toInstance(Object)} and {@link
 *     shaded.shaded.com.google.inject.binder.LinkedBindingBuilder#toProvider(javax.inject.Provider)}. In this
 *     case all constructors are, of course, ignored.
 * 
Static fields and methods of classes which any {@link Module} has specifically requested
 *     static injection for, using {@link Binder#requestStaticInjection}.
 * 
 *
 * In all cases, a member can be injected regardless of its Java access specifier (private, default,
 * protected, public).
