Error message for non-static inner classes is not intuitive #154

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
say you 

bind(Foo.class).toProvider(FooProvider.class)

where FooProvider is an inner class of Bar. Say that, by mistake, the inner
class was not declared static. And say Foo has a non-zero-arg constructor.

Guice will report an error saying FooProvider should have a zero-arg
constructor or a constructor marked as @Inject. Though technically correct,
the message is not very helpful.

"Missing binding to com.google.inject.ErrorMessagesTest$InnerClass: Injecting 
into inner classes is not 
supported.  Please use a 'static' class (top-level or nested) instead."
