Dagger 1 Documentation

If you are not using a dependency manager like Maven, you can download the required JAR files from Maven Central. To function correctly, you will need the following artifacts:

• dagger-${dagger.version}.jar (Runtime)
• dagger-compiler-${dagger.version}.jar (Compile-time code generation)
• javapoet
• javax.inject

To use Dagger 1, you must include the runtime dependency for your application and the compiler dependency for code generation during build time. In a Maven pom.xml, add dagger as a standard dependency and dagger-compiler as an optional or provided dependency to ensure the compiler is available at compile time but not included in the final runtime artifact.
