John,
I just had a thought: why do we need hk2-inhabitant-generator at all?
When someone tries to inject a class and a binding is not found,
couldn't HK2 automatically add a binding and retry the operation if the
class is annotated with @Service? Meaning, what prevents you from adding
the binding on-the-fly at runtime?
Thanks,
Gili
