How to configure Maven dependency for Guice 3.0 for use without AOP?

Question

I have an Android Maven project and want to use Google Guice 3.0 .

There is a “No-AOP” version of Guice that is compatible with Android.

How can I tell maven to use the no- aop version of guice ?

Update 1 (05/03/2013 10:46 MSK):

When I add a dependency on Google Guice, I get the following exception during build ( mvn clean install ):

 [INFO] UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: [INFO] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: already added: Lcom/google/inject/Abs tractModule; [INFO] at com.android.dx.dex.file.ClassDefsSection.add(ClassDefsSection.java:12 3) [INFO] at com.android.dx.dex.file.DexFile.add(DexFile.java:163) [INFO] at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.processClass(Main.java:490) [INFO] at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.processFileBytes(Main.java:459) [INFO] at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.access$400(Main.java:67) [INFO] at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main$1.processFileBytes(Main.java:398) [INFO] at com.android.dx.cf.direct.ClassPathOpener.processArchive(ClassPathOpen er.java:245) [INFO] at com.android.dx.cf.direct.ClassPathOpener.processOne(ClassPathOpener.j ava:131) [INFO] at com.android.dx.cf.direct.ClassPathOpener.process(ClassPathOpener.java :109) [INFO] at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.processOne(Main.java:422) [INFO] at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.processAllFiles(Main.java:333) [INFO] at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.run(Main.java:209) [INFO] at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.main(Main.java:174) [INFO] at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:91) [INFO] 1 error; aborting 

Here are my dependencies:

Answer 1

You need to specify no_aop as a classifier:

 <dependency> <groupId>com.google.inject</groupId> <artifactId>guice</artifactId> <version>3.0</version> <classifier>no_aop</classifier> </dependency> 

Answer 2

If you also want to get rid of aopalliance dependencies, use this:

 <dependency> <groupId>com.google.inject</groupId> <artifactId>guice</artifactId> <version>3.0</version> <classifier>no_aop</classifier> <exclusions> <exclusion> <artifactId>aopalliance</artifactId> <groupId>aopalliance</groupId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> 

Answer 3

Google is discouraged by the use of Guice on Android due to reflection performance. The latest version of no_aop you can use is:

 compile 'com.google.inject:guice:2.0-no_aop' 

---

'com.google.inject:guice:3.0-no_aop' no longer in the maven repository, as well as 'com.google.inject:guice:4.1.0-no_aop' .

---

'com.google.inject:guice:4.1.0 crash: com.google.common.util.concurrent.ExecutionError: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

and

 compile ('com.google.inject:guice:4.1.0') { exclude group: 'aopalliance', module: 'aopalliance' } 

crashes with NoClassDefFoundError: org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInterceptor
