What is the difference between javax.inject.Inject and com.google.inject.Inject?

Question

I'm initiating myself to Google Guice.

I have a simple question :

What is the difference between the javax.inject's @Inject annotation and the com.google.inject's @Inject one ?

Thanks.

What about `org.jboss.beans.metadata.api.annotations.Inject`'s `@Inject`? :p — Buhake Sindi, Jan 06 '12 at 10:57

javax.inject is a specification derived from google's work (and others)

Difference can be found in Google Guice Wiki
