Sorry for the half baked post.

Disclaimer: I'm using a third-party framework, so I don't have control on 
the 
application startup, I can only do the guice init on-demand inside the 
services
I create.

Also, I'm new to DI in general and Guice in particular.

I have to introduce a customization mechanism in the app I'm working on.
Basically, I want to be able to do something like this:

public class MyServerClass implements Invokable 
// Invokable is a third-party interface used to tell the server that this 
class contains services
{
  public static Object myServiceMethod () 
  {
    if(#MyCustomerServiceClass.myServiceMethod# is available)
    {
      return MyCustomerServiceClass.myServiceMethod();
    }
    else
    {
      return MyCoreServiceClass.myServiceMethod();
    }
  }
}

class MyCoreServerClass
{
  public static Object myServiceMethod () 
  {
    return "A";
  }
}

class MyCustomerServiceClass extends MyCoreServerClass
{
  public static Object myServiceMethod () 
  {
    return "B";
  }
}

My requirement is that I should be able to introduce MyCustomerServiceClass 
without
changing nor recompile MyServerClass MyCoreServerClass.

That is, I have my app with 
MyBasicSetOfClasses.jar
and everything works fine, than I introduce
MyCustomerSpecificClasses.jar
eventually touch some external configuration file, and I have the cusomized 
myServiceMethod() 
responding to calls to "com.mycompany.MyServerClass.myServiceMethod".

Is it possible to inject dependencies this way, with the new 
"configuration" inside 
an additional JAR in the classpath or in an external configuration file?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the double post, and the convoluted and 
dumb request.
