Enum Constant Detail

• TOOL

  public static final Stage TOOL

  We're running in a tool (an IDE plugin for example). We need binding meta data but not a functioning Injector. Do not inject members of instances. Do not load eager singletons. Do as little as possible so our tools run nice and snappy. Injectors created in this stage cannot be used to satisfy injections.

• DEVELOPMENT

  public static final Stage DEVELOPMENT

  We want fast startup times at the expense of runtime performance and some up front error checking.

• PRODUCTION

  public static final Stage PRODUCTION

  We want to catch errors as early as possible and take performance hits up front.
