Hi everyone,

Bit of weird question here -

I was just working on an idea I had to make a 'scanner' that
automatically builds a Guice module from annotated classes found in a
class loader.  It was going along pretty well until I hit a stumbling
block:  I can't seem to get javac to understand
binder.bind(providedClass).toProvider(providerClass) when both classes
have been found via reflection.

Here's the code:

    private void bindProvider(Class<?> implClass, Scope scope) {
        // implClass is known to implement Provider
        Class<?> providedClass = null;
        // Find the provided type...
        Type[] types = implClass.getGenericInterfaces();
        // ... bunch of reflection API calls here ...

        binder.bind(providedClass).toProvider((Class<? extends
Provider<?>>) implClass).in(scope);
    }

Javac says: "cannot find symbol method
toProvider(java.lang.Class<capture#546 of ? extends
com.google.inject.Provider<?>>)".  I assume this is because
providedClass is not known at compile time.  But... that's kinda the
point.

Any ideas?   Maybe I shouldn't be using the DSL-ish classes from
Binder?
