/**

 * <p>

 * Facilities for loading service providers.  A service is

 * defined by a set of interfaces or abstract classes, and

 * a service provider gives a concrete implementation of this.

 * Service providers may be installed as part of the runtime

 * environment using JAR files in the extension directories,

 * or may be simply supplied on the classpath.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * In terms of loading a service, the service is defined by

 * a single interface or abstract class which the provider

 * implements.  This may not constitute the entire service,

 * but is simply a mechanism by which a provider of the

 * service can be loaded and its capabilities determined.

 * The variety of possible services means that no more

 * requirements are made of the service provider other than

 * that it must have an accessible zero argument constructor

 * in order to allow an instance to be created.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * Service providers are listed in a file named after the

 * service type in the directory <code>META-INF/services</code>.

 * The file contains a list of classes, and must be encoded

 * using UTF-8.  Whitespace is ignored.  Comments can be

 * included by using a <code>'#'</code> prefix; anything occurring

 * on the same line after this symbol is ignored. Duplicate classes

 * are ignored.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * The classes are loaded using the same classloader that was

 * queried in order to locate the configuration file.  As a result,

 * the providers do not need to reside in the same JAR file as the

 * resource; they merely have to be accessible to this classloader,

 * which may differ from the one that loaded the file itself.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * Providers are located and instantiated lazily, as calls to the

 * {@link #iterator()} are made.  Providers are cached, and those in

 * the cache are returned first.  The cache may be cleared by calling

 * {@link #reload()}.  Service loaders always execute in the security

 * context of the caller, so ideally calls should be made from a trusted

 * source.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * Note that this class is not thread-safe, and that strange errors may

 * occur as the result of the use of remote URLs occurring on the classpath,

 * which lead to erroneous web pages.

 * </p>
