Hi, we're experiencing a deadlock in our multi-threaded code, and I think 
I've tracked it down to our use of FactoryModuleBuilder to create one of 
our objects during an HTTP response. We use the pattern of:
install(new FactoryModuleBuilder()
                .implement(User.class, User.class)
                .build(UserFactory.class));

And our dead lock looks like (we have more than a dozen threads all blocked 
in the same way):
"Thread-2616" prio=10 tid=0x00007f41647e1800 nid=0xea9 waiting for monitor 
entry [0x00007f417fefd000]

com.google.inject.assistedinject.FactoryProvider2.invoke(FactoryProvider2.java:625)
        at $Proxy16.create(Unknown Source)
        at ourCode

So I am concluding that the Factory Module Builder pattern isn't thread 
safe per-se, and will just go back to creating our object manually, then 
using injector#injectMembers() afterwards.

Am I missing something or does this sound about right? Is this correct? Or 
am I missing something? If it is, it would be great to get a warning added 
somewhere..

The relavent Guice code is FactoryProvider2:
 /**
   * When a factory method is invoked, we create a child injector that 
binds all parameters, then
   * use that to get an instance of the return type.
   */
  public Object invoke(Object proxy, final Method method, final Object[] 
args) throws Throwable {

and then the synchro block in InternalInjectorCreator:

  public Injector build() {
    if (shellBuilder == null) {
      throw new AssertionError("Already built, builders are not reusable.");
    }

    // Synchronize while we're building up the bindings and other injector 
state. This ensures that
    // the JIT bindings in the parent injector don't change while we're 
being built
    synchronized (shellBuilder.lock()) {
      shells = shellBuilder.build(initializer, bindingData, stopwatch, 
errors);
      stopwatch.resetAndLog("Injector construction");

      initializeStatically();
    }

    injectDynamically();

    if (shellBuilder.getStage() == Stage.TOOL) {
      // wrap the primaryInjector in a ToolStageInjector
      // to prevent non-tool-friendy methods from being called.
      return new ToolStageInjector(primaryInjector());
    } else {
      return primaryInjector();
    }
  }
