Has anyone used ServiceLoader together with Guice?

Question

I keep wanting to try this on a larger scale with our app + build system, but higher priorities keep pushing it to the back burner. It seems like a nice way to load Guice module

Answer 1

We're doing almost exactly this at my work. We're currently stuck in java 5 due to some internal limitations, so we do it a bit differently using Service Provider (due to not having access to ServiceLocator until java 6 like you mentioned), but it essentially works the same.

I remember reading somewhere that this was one of the preferred ways the Guice developers recommended, though they want to leave this open for flexibility.
