@Inject on static fields and methods? #18

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The JavaDoc for @Inject says "Identifies injectable constructors, methods,
and fields. May apply to static as well as instance members" but doesn't
give clear guidance on what injection for static members means.

I would expect different language here, for example "Identifies injectable
constructors, instance methods, and instance fields. <remove sentence
starting with "May apply"; insert rest of first paragraph> Injection for
static members annotated with @Inject is undefined".

This change occurred as part of r4. I'm trying to remember who requested it...

The request came from Oracle. They wanted to remove the sentence entirely. I 
added 
"may" as a compromise. It's not "undefined". It's either supported, or not, but 
the 
remaining rules still apply.
