Enum Constant Detail

TOOL

public static final Stage TOOL
We're running in a tool (an IDE plugin for example). We need binding meta data but not a functioning Injector. Do not inject members of instances. Do not load eager singletons. Do as little as possible so our tools run nice and snappy. Injectors created in this stage cannot be used to satisfy injections.


DEVELOPMENT

public static final Stage DEVELOPMENT
The default stage. We want fast startup times and better error reporting at the expense of runtime performance and some up front error checking.


PRODUCTION

public static final Stage PRODUCTION
We want to catch errors as early as possible and take performance hits up front.

Method Detail

values

public static final Stage[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
for(Stage c : Stage.values())
        System.out.println(c);

Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared

valueOf

public static Stage valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
