Let's get the OSGI fix in, and THEN cut beta5.

No way to extend it to provide other wrapper classes, no. Although you could pretty easily write a wrapper around it (e.g, ScalaOptionBinder) that binds your custom wrapper to something that delegates to Optional<T> (and Optional<Provider<T>, etc.). That'd require users to use your wrapping binder, though. If you don't want to do that, you could use the Guice SPI
to analyze all module elements & automatically create new bindings for
anything that's an OptionalBinderBinding, delegating to the actual/default
values.

The latest push included one
commit<https://code.google.com/p/google-guice/source/detail?r=bab9b6082ff7c3aefac2dc8c7de0468fe60fe8f6>that
we had to rollback internally (we're not exactly sure what's going
wrong, but it caused a few tests in one project to become flaky).. so we could theoretically cut a new beta with the rollback. But hopefully we can
figure out what's going wrong, fix it, and cut a better beta.

I'm very excited about this; are you going to cut another beta release
anytime soon?

Is it possible to extend this to use other wrapper classes? I'd like to add this to the Scala-Guice project for Scala's option class if possible.

Ever wanted to:
1) Set default binding in a library or framework that users can change?
2) Inject something into a library or framework that isn't required,
but would be better if a user could set it?
3) Inject an optional value into a constructor?

OptionalBinder lets you do that. Christian just pushed out some of our recent internal changes, including the introduction of OptionalBinder to
the multibindings extension.

Some example usage:

1) Setting a default binding that a user can override:
Library: *OptionalBinder.newOptionalBinder(binder(), Foo.class)*
*                   .setDefault().to(DefaultFoo.class);*
At this point, code can inject '*Foo*' (or *Optional<Foo>)*, and will
get a *DefaultFoo.*

User: *OptionalBinder.newOptionalBinder(binder(), Foo.class)*
*                  .setBinding().to(CustomFoo.class);*
Once a user calls setBinding(), injections of *Foo* (or
*Optional<Foo>)* will start providing *CustomFoo* instead.

2) Setting a binding that isn't required (e.g, no default value), but a
user can supply.
 Library: *OptionalBinder.newOptionalBinder(binder(), Foo.class);*
At this point, code *can't* inject *Foo* -- it will fail saying the
binding isn't supplied. Code *can* (and should) inject *Optional<Foo>*,
though, and the optional will be absent.

User: *OptionalBinder.newOptionalBinder(binder(), Foo.class)*
*                  .setBinding().to(CustomFoo.class);*
Once a user calls setBinding(), *Optional<Foo>* will be present and
supply the *CustomFoo*.  Also, *Foo* can be directly injected now
(although only user could should do that, since the user code is the only part that guarantees the binding will be there -- library code should still
inject the* Optional<Foo>*).

Please report back if you have any issues or suggestions for improvement.

Thanks!
