Governator can be used in a Spring project in the following way:

* Create a LifeCycleListener that has access to your ApplicationContext

        LifecycleListener   lifecycleListener = new LifecycleListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void objectInjected(Object obj)
            {
                // context is an ApplicationContext
                context.getBeanFactory().registerSingleton(obj.getClass().getName(), obj);
            }

            @Override
            public void stateChanged(Object obj, LifecycleState newState)
            {
            }
        };

* Include the listener when creating the LifecycleInjector:

    .withLifecycleListener(new FilteredLifecycleListener(lifecycleListener, yourPackages))

* You can then access Governator managed objects via:

    MyClass     m = context.getBeanFactory().getBean(MyClass.class);
