Annotation Interface Provides
Defines a zero-args non-static non-void method whose return value is made available for injection
via a
ProvidesResolver.
This annotation is Inherited, so it propagates from a superclass method to an overriding
subclass method. Note that due to a JDK constraint, Inherited does not propagate
from an interface method to its implementors; annotate the concrete method directly in that case.
Each call to ProvidesResolver.resolve(Dependency) invokes the annotated method afresh. The provider
object is responsible for any memoization if singleton semantics are required.
