Guice never had a lot of activity in the open source area.
There was once a Apache project (Onami) which became abandoned a few
years ago.
I feel Google is not very interested in a vivid community around Guice.
Maybe they have enough internal factors driving Guice and do not want
too many community driven changes which may conflict with their internal
needs.
Never the less Guice is a very mature and stable piece of software.
As you mentioned the two alternatives are Spring and Dagger.
Spring is a framework where as Guice is a library. This means with
Spring you not only get dependency injection but can easily add many
more functionalities.
Dagger on the other end is focusing on performance over functionality.
Also they have a annotation processor which does compile time
validation. As a consequence of this they cannot offer all the
functionalities Guice does (like injecting unannotated classes with an
empty default constructor).
Hope this helps, and as always we would like to hear more about how the
future of Guice is seen by Google ;)

Hi All
It seems the activities around Guice, both in terms of the discussions
here and the commits in the Github repo seems to have slowed right down.
What is the current status, are people moving away?
I successfully delivered a number of projects using Guice in it's
early days, around 6 years ago. Then I moved away from Java but came
back to it last year. The project I picked up had code running on
Struts and Spring, I ripped that all out and put in a simple action
based framework on top of Guice. The final result had 5 times original
functionality with at least 50% reduction in dependencies and a slight
reduction in total code base size. Also zero XML based configuration.
(Not saying that this will always be the case, a lot is probably due
to the state of the current code, and the project requirements)
I'm about to embark on a new project and would be keen to use the same
framework again.
However, I'm concerned as to why activities have completely died down,
are people moving away? If so to what? Dagger? Spring?
Thanks
Ron
