Welcome to Lyfegycle!
People often complained the Google Guice lack of support of EJB3.0 @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy annotations to manage the injected objects lifecycle.
This small library aims to add that support in a lightweight yet dynamic way, allowing users define the annotations type they want to use to mark methods to execute once the injection is performed and when shutting down the application.

This work is dedicated to our city, L'Aquila, destroyed by a terrible earthquake the 6th April, 2009... That day more than 300 people were killed because buildings collapsed after a magnitudo 6.3 earthquake at 3:32 am.
We'll never forget that episode.
