Annotation Type SingletonOverride

@Documented
 @Target(value=TYPE)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @MirroredAnnotation
public @interface SingletonOverride

An annotation used to override a SingletonDefault used in dependency injection.

When the wetheinter.net.inject.X_Inject generator processes classes, it chooses a single injection target based on priority. SingletonDefault is always the lowest priority; OverrideImpls are chosen based on highest priority().

The #platform() parameter currently only differentiates between gwt and pure java; A service marked with PlatformType#All will be injected into all builds, those marked with PlatformType#GwtAll will be in both dev mode and compiled gwt. PlatformType#GwtScript is for compiled / super dev mode. PlatformType#GwtScript is for dev mode only. Use PlatformType#Java to include a class in META-INF/singletons, but exclude from Gwt.

The other platform types will be implemented as needed to support the full PlayN stack.
