Package org.eclipse.net4j.util.lifecycle

A framework for components with a simple lifecycle. Interfaces that describe the behaviour of objects with respect to their lifecycle. A utility class to interact with such objects and an abstract class that can be used to implement such objects are provided as well.

Interface Summary
ILifecycle	An entity that has a well-defined `lifecycle` and can be `activated` or `deactivated`.
ILifecycle.DeferrableActivation	A mix-in interface for `lifecycles` with deferrable activation.
ILifecycleEvent	An `event` fired from an entity with a `lifecycle` when its lifecycle `state` has changed.

Class Summary
Lifecycle	A default implementation of an entity with a `lifecycle`.
LifecycleEvent	A default implementation of a lifecycle `event`.
LifecycleEventAdapter	A `listener` that dispatches lifecycle `events` to methods that can be overridden by extenders.
LifecycleUtil	Various static helper methods for dealing with `lifecycles`.
LifecycleUtil.Delegator<T>	The `invocation handler` of the `dynamic proxy` created in `LifecycleUtil.delegateLifecycle()`.
ShareableLifecycle	A `lifecycle` entity with a reference count that can be `activated` multiple times.

ILifecycleEvent.Kind	Enumerates the possible `lifecycle state` changes of an entity.
LifecycleState	Enumerates the possible lifecycle states of an entity with a `lifecycle`.

Exception Summary
