Eclipse 4.0, also known as Eclipse e4, is an incubator project that will produce the Eclipse 4.0 software development kit (SDK). Eclipse e4 aims to modernize the Eclipse programming model to make development easier and provide a more visually appealing and flexible user experience. It uses a new modeled workbench based on plain old Java objects (POJOs) rather than the complex and inheritance-based programming model of Eclipse 3.x. This allows aspects of the user interface like perspectives and toolbars to be defined declaratively using XML models rather than code. Dependency injection also reduces boilerplate code. Styling is implemented through CSS for greater flexibility and customization of themes.

- 43. Dependency Injection in e4JSR 330 compatible injection implementation@javax.inject.Inject – Field, Constructor and Method injection@javax.inject.Named – Specify a custom qualifier to context object (default is fully qualified classname of the injected type)e4 specific annotations, e.g. @Optional
- 44. Java Class Services are injected via the the e4 frameworkpublicclassListView { @Inject privateIEclipseContextcontext;@Inject private Loggerlogger; @Inject publicListView(Composite parent) {// ...
- 45. Lifecycle@PostConstruct: Called after Object created and Fields- and Methods-Injection finished
- 46. @PreDestroy: Called before the object is destroyed (e.g. the Part shown in the UI is removed)What can be injected?
- 47. IEclipseContextStores information of possible Injection ValuesOSGi Services part of the ContextDefine your own services and use DI for them
