Nothing, but there's a little more to it with Giulius: - Layering sets of properties on top of each other (e.g. layer $JAR/META-INF/settings/generated-foo.properties, /etc/foo.properties, ~/foo.properties, ./foo.properties) on top of each other so you can have defaults (annotation generated), system-wide, per-user and per-install properties, and parsing sendopts-style command-line argumenst (--foo bar) overlaid over that - Optional periodic refresh of file-based properties - Ability to replace properties files with loading config from a centralized config server such as etcd - https://github.com/timboudreau/giulius-settings-etcd - or zookeeper or similar, without major surgery - Ability to use @Namespace to choose the source of bound properties (i.e. when injecting @Named, giulius will check what class/package it's injecting into and select the right Settings to pull from) - useful in old codebases that read from heterogenous properties files - Having a test harness that lets test methods take injected arguments, which understands this stuff (i.e. you can override properties for a test using annotations or a properties file with the same name as the test) - https://github.com/timboudreau/giulius-tests -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-guice" group.
