/**
 * Defines a builder for a CompletableFuture dependency.
 * Using such dependency allows your component to wait for the completion of a given asynchronous task
 * represented by a standard jdk <code>CompletableFuture</code> object.
 * 
 * A FutureDependency is required and unblock the Component once the CompletableFuture result has completed.
 * 
 * <h3>Usage Example</h3>
 * 
 * <p> Here is an Activator that downloads a page from the web and injects the string result to a component.
 * When the web page is downloaded, the result is injected in the MyComponent::setPage method and
 * the component is then called in its "start" method:
 * 
 * <pre>{@code
 * 
 * public class Activator extends DependencyManagerActivator {
 *   public void init(BundleContext ctx, DependencyManager dm) throws Exception {    	
 *      String url = "http://felix.apache.org/";
 *      CompletableFuture<String> page = CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> downloadSite(url));				
 *
 *      // The component depends on a log service and on the content of the Felix site.
 *      // The lambda passed to the "withFuture" method configures the callback that is 
 *      // invoked with the result of the CompletableFuture (the page content).
 *      component(comp -> comp
 *          .impl(MyComponent.class)
 *          .withService(LogService.class)
 *          .withFuture(page, result -> result.complete(MyComponent::setPage)));
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * public class MyComponent {
 *   volatile LogService log; // injected.
 *   
 *   void setPage(String page) {
 *      // injected by the FutureDependency.
 *   }
 *   
 *   void start() {
 *      // all required dependencies injected.
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * }</pre>
 * 
 * @param <F> the type of the CompletableFuture result.
