General

What if my component depend on non-component objects (such as configuration, ints and strings)?

This is not supported in the current release (1.0-alpha). We have a design and have almost implemented support for it. Will hopefully be included in next release.

Why can my components only have one constructor?

In order for Pico to unambigiously deduce what dependencies your component have. If you require your component to have several constructors for other purposes, consider creating a Pico-compatible wrapper or sub-class.

Installation

How do I install PicoContainer?

Like any other library that comes in a jar. Just make sure it's on your application's classpath.
