Injection

Is IoC/DI becoming mainstream?

I think that this years tech word will be injection, and I think this because Spring (in particular, but IoC/DI in general) is becoming more and more widely adopted on projects. Perhaps even "mainstream", you might say. Some quotes from my current projects.

Let's just inject it with Spring.

We're using Spring here already, so why don't you inject those beans into X?

Where does this come from? It's injected.

We need to inject some load into the system test environment.

Okay, so that last one is out of context, but these phrases are not what you would have typically heard used on a project. I imagine this is true for many others out there - are you also seeing IoC becoming "mainstream"?

So, when are you going to inject pebble 2.0 into the cvs so we can all have a look? ;)

A binary will be injected into the SourceForge file system over the next day or so - just trimming down the distribution to exclude a bunch of unused items.
