Use case

Within an Eclipse RCP based applications components often start their life cycle because they were contributed as an executable extension org.eclipse.core.runtime.IConfigurationElement.createExecutableExtension(String).

Who or what is responsible for injecting the needed services and/or extensions into these objects? And how does it know what to inject?

The answer to this question is Wiring. With the following sentence it is possible to initiate the wiring, i.e. perform all the necessary injections of services and extensions.

Wire.instance(object).andStart(context);
