Dependency Injector

Java library that allows to inject dependencies without increasing final jar file size.

Project is not likely to receive any more changes.

Add to project

Gradle:

repositories {
	jcenter()
}

dependencies {
	implementation "dev.jaqobb:dependencyinjector:2.2.7"
}

Gradle Kotlin DSL:

repository {
	jcenter()
}

dependencies {
	implementation("dev.jaqobb:dependencyinjector:2.2.7")
}

Usage

Get the required information about the dependency you want to inject (group id, artifact id and version (and repository if the dependency isn't located in the Maven Central Repository)).

Construct a new Dependency object using:

Dependency dependency = new Dependency("groupId", "artifactId", "version");

or:

Dependency dependency = new Dependency("groupId", "artifactId", "version", "repositoryUrl");

There are already a few repositories you can use without worrying about their url. You can get them from the Repositories class. If you want some repository to be added, please make either issue or pull request.

After you get your Dependency object you can now create a DependencyInjector object using:

DependencyInjector dependencyInjector = new DependencyInjector(dependenciesFolder);

dependenciesFolder is a folder where all dependencies will be cached.

After this is done you can inject your dependency using:

dependencyInjector.injectDependency(dependency, classLoader);

classLoader is usually your main class' class loader (this.getClass().getClassLoader()). However, the provided class loader must be an instance of URLClassLoader.

You can also inject dependencies without having to use Dependency object. In that case use the method with the same name but replace dependency parameter with the dependency's information (group id, artifact id and version (and repository if the dependency isn't in the Maven Central Repository))
