Interface Instantiator<T>

Type Parameters:
T - The type to be instantiated

@Deprecated public interface Instantiator<T>
Deprecated.
Alternative techniques for accelerating dependency injection make the use of this interface redundant

Instantiates an instance of a specific type. Note that instances of this type are automatically generated by the AnnotationProcessor at compile time. Sub-classes of this type MUST NOT be manually defined.

In order to be able to generate an Instantiator for a type, the type's constructor must have package or public level visibility. If this requirement is not met then an Instantiator will not be generated for the type.

      Deprecated.
      Produce a new instance of the specified type
