The code is pretty self explanatory but here's a quick run down. o.getClass().getDeclaredFields() gets us an array of all the fields. We then have a enhanced for loop that loops over the array. Check if the field is annotated field.isAnnotationPresent(Gucci.class). If it is then we set its modifier to true with field.setAccessible(true);. If we don't do this and the field is private we will get an error. Then we get the binary name of the field, field.getGenericType().getTypeName();, remember its just the package and the class name. Lastly we set the value of the field, field.set(o,dynamicInjection(classLoader,binaryName). With that we have now created a dependency injection annotation with the Junit 5 extension model. Now I am sure you can see the tower of exceptions, which is obviously not ideal. I'm not sure how I want to handle all the exceptions yet. However, I will be digging around the Mockito code base to see if I can find how they handle all their exceptions.
