Injections aren't available in a class constructor. Instead, make it a
public method (the name doesn't matter but I like to use "initialize()" or
"configure()" -- but that's pure opinion.

Then add the [PostConstruct] metadata over the method. A method marked
PostConstruct is called immediately after injections are fulfilled, so
that's a general-purpose mechanism for specifying a class entry point for a
class where you're using injections.

RL2FirstAppConfig.as
       package net.tw.test.rl2firstapp {
               import net.tw.test.rl2firstapp.views.
>
> MainView;
> import net.tw.test.rl2firstapp.views.MainViewMediator;
>
> import org.swiftsuspenders.Injector;

>
> [Inject]
> public var mediatorMap:IMediatorMap;

                                  [PostConstruct]
                                  public function configure() {

> trace('RL2FirstAppConfig', mediatorMap,
> injector);

FWIW, I personally prefer not to have to know to use [PostConstruct] in
this case (although it's a useful technique for general purposes). I have
filed an issue where I've proposed an alternative, and I think Shaun's
doing some thinking about how he thinks it should be done best:

   I'm thinking of adding a Config class in the mvcs package which users can extend, overriding a "configure" method, for convenience.

   Just curious, what do you think of having an IConfig interface in the core
   that defines the configure() method, and have that be what RL core actually
   uses when Context.config() is called?

   That would mean that if I don't want to inherit Config I can still make my
   own config class that works by implementing IConfig. If I create my own
   bundle, I don't necessarily want to have to duplicate the MVCS bundle's
   Config class in my bundle. =)
