Interface ExtensionModule

All Superinterfaces:
com.google.inject.Module
public interface ExtensionModule extends com.google.inject.Module
Marks Modules to be loaded when the world is assembled.

When an Injector is created from a ClassLoader, any extensions that implement this interface will be instantiated with the default constructor, and the module gets installed.

When we are assembling an injector (aka "world") from a set of jar files, those jar files can use this mechanism to insert more sophisticated bindings into the world.

This is a pseudo extension point, in the sense that it does not actually produce any binding inside the injector. Instead, it's instantiated while the injector is created, used, then thrown away.
