| /** |
| * This package contains a number of classes that assists by analyzing JARs and |
| * constructing bundles. The Analyzer class can be used to analyze an existing |
| * bundle and can create a manifest specification from proposed (wildcard) |
| * Export-Package, Bundle-Includes, and Import-Package headers. The Builder |
| * class can use the headers to construct a JAR from the classpath. The Verifier |
| * class can take an existing JAR and verify that all headers are correctly set. |
| * It will verify the syntax of the headers, match it against the proper |
| * contents, and verify imports and exports. A number of utility classes are |
| * available. Jar, provides an abstraction of a Jar file. It has constructors |
| * for creating a Jar from a stream, a directory, or a jar file. A Jar, keeps a |
| * collection Resource's. There are Resource implementations for File, from |
| * ZipFile, or from a stream (which copies the data). The Jar tries to minimize |
| * the work during build up so that it is cheap to use. The Resource's can be |
| * used to iterate over the names and later read the resources when needed. |
| * Clazz, provides a parser for the class files. This will be used to define the |
| * imports and exports. Headers are translated to {@link Parameters} that |
| * contains all headers (the order is maintained). The attribute of each header |
| * are maintained in an {@link Attrs}. Each additional file in a header |
| * definition will have its own entry (only native code does not work this way). |
| * The ':' of directives is considered part of the name. This allows attributes |
| * and directives to be maintained in the Attributes map. An important aspect of |
| * the specification is to allow the use of wildcards. Wildcards select from a |
| * set and can decorate the entries with new attributes. This functionality is |
| * implemented in Instructions. Much of the information calculated is in |
| * packages. A package is identified by a PackageRef (and a type by a TypeRef). |
| * The namespace is maintained by {@link Descriptors}, which here is owned by |
| * {@link Analyzer}. A special class, {@link Packages} maintains the attributes |
| * that are found in the code. |
