/**
 * A factory for plug-ins that conform to a service provider
 * interface. This is a general mechanism that gets used by a number
 * of packages in the Java API. For instance, {@link
 * java.nio.charset.spi.CharsetProvider} allows to write custom
 * encoders and decoders for character sets, {@link
 * javax.imageio.spi.ImageReaderSpi} allows to support custom image
 * formats, and {@link javax.print.PrintService} makes it possible to
 * write custom printer drivers.
 *
 * <p>The plug-ins are concrete implementations of the service
 * provider interface, which is defined as an interface or an abstract
 * class. The implementation classes must be public and have a public
 * constructor that takes no arguments.
 *
 * <p>Plug-ins are usually deployed in JAR files. A JAR that provides
 * an implementation of a service must declare this in a resource file
 * whose name is the fully qualified service name and whose location
 * is the directory <code>META-INF/services</code>. This UTF-8 encoded
 * text file lists, on separate lines, the fully qualified names of
 * the concrete implementations. Thus, one JAR file can provide an
 * arbitrary number of implementations for an arbitrary count of
 * service provider interfaces.
 *
 * <p><b>Example</b>
 *
 * <p>For example, a JAR might provide two implementations of the
 * service provider interface <code>org.foo.ThinkService</code>,
 * namely <code>com.acme.QuickThinker</code> and
 * <code>com.acme.DeepThinker</code>. The code for <code>QuickThinker</code>
 * woud look as follows:
 *
 * <pre>
 * package com.acme;
 *
 * &#x2f;**
 * * Provices a super-quick, but not very deep implementation of ThinkService.
 * *&#x2f;
 * public class QuickThinker
 *   implements org.foo.ThinkService
 * {
 *   &#x2f;**
 *   * Constructs a new QuickThinker. The service factory (which is
 *   * part of the Java environment) calls this no-argument constructor
 *   * when it looks up the available implementations of ThinkService.
 *   *
 *   * &lt;p&gt;Note that an application might query all available
 *   * ThinkService providers, but use just one of them. Therefore,
 *   * constructing an instance should be very inexpensive. For example,
 *   * large data structures should only be allocated when the service
 *   * actually gets used.
 *   *&#x2f;
 *   public QuickThinker()
 *   {
 *   }
 *
 *   &#x2f;**
 *   * Returns the speed of this ThinkService in thoughts per second.
 *   * Applications can choose among the available service providers
 *   * based on this value.
 *   *&#x2f;
 *   public double getSpeed()
 *   {
 *     return 314159.2654;
 *   }
 *
 *   &#x2f;**
 *   * Produces a thought. While the returned thoughts are not very
 *   * deep, they are generated in very short time.
 *   *&#x2f;
 *   public Thought think()
 *   {
 *     return null;
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>The code for <code>com.acme.DeepThinker</code> is left as an
 * exercise to the reader.
 *
 * <p>Acme&#x2019;s <code>ThinkService</code> plug-in gets deployed as
 * a JAR file. Besides the bytecode and resources for
 * <code>QuickThinker</code> and <code>DeepThinker</code>, it also
 * contains the text file
 * <code>META-INF/services/org.foo.ThinkService</code>:
 *
 * <pre>
 * # Available implementations of org.foo.ThinkService
 * com.acme.QuickThinker
 * com.acme.DeepThinker
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p><b>Thread Safety</b>
 *
 * <p>It is safe to use <code>ServiceFactory</code> from multiple
 * concurrent threads without external synchronization.
 *
 * <p><b>Note for User Applications</b>
 *
 * <p>User applications that want to load plug-ins should not directly
 * use <code>gnu.classpath.ServiceFactory</code>, because this class
 * is only available in Java environments that are based on GNU
 * Classpath. Instead, it is recommended that user applications call
 * {@link
 * javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry#lookupProviders(Class)}. This API
 * is actually independent of image I/O, and it is available on every
 * environment.
