Review Summary
I am requesting changes because there is still a direct violation of the explicit checklist requirement regarding exception handling, which is considered critical for this task. In src/main/java/mate.academy/lib/Injector.java, inside getInstance, you currently catch InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | NoSuchMethodException | InvocationTargetException instead of their common parent ReflectiveOperationException, which contradicts the checklist’s guidance [CHECKLIST ITEM #8] and matches the provided “Bad example.” To fix this, replace that multi-catch with a single catch (ReflectiveOperationException e) and then remove the now-unnecessary specific reflection exception imports, such as InvocationTargetException.
Aside from that, your annotations (@Component, @Inject), the injector’s interface-to-implementation map, the use of reflection for field injection, and the informative exception messages all align well with the requirements. A minor improvement you could make while you are editing is to ensure that the error message for missing @Component refers to the actual implementation class, not the interface, to make debugging clearer. Once you group the reflection exceptions under ReflectiveOperationException, your solution should fully comply with the task and checklist. Keep going—you’re very close, and this is a good opportunity to solidify best practices around exception hierarchies.

Review Summary
Your solution is approved because it meets all core functional requirements and satisfies the checklist items for this dependency injection task. The @Component and @Inject annotations are correctly defined with RUNTIME retention and appropriate targets, and the Injector properly maintains and checks the interface-to-implementation map as a class field initialized via Map.of(). Reflection-based instantiation and injection are handled correctly, with a single catch (ReflectiveOperationException e) and rethrowing using informative messages while preserving the original cause, which aligns with the error-handling requirements [CHECKLIST ITEM #7 and #8]. All service implementation classes are annotated with @Component, their dependencies are marked with @Inject, and missing @Component on implementations correctly results in a RuntimeException, so functionality and tests should behave as expected.
One minor improvement you could consider (not a blocker) is updating the missing-@Component error message in Injector to use implementationClass.getName() instead of the interface name, to make debugging even clearer. Overall, you’ve implemented the DI mechanics cleanly and adhered to the task’s constraints and conventions—well done.

The error message here uses interfaceClazz.getName(), so when @Component is missing on the implementation class, the message will still mention the interface. While not a checklist violation, updating this to use implementationClass.getName() would better match the guidance about making the message refer to the actual implementation class for clearer debugging.
