| /** |
| * Customizes the starting and stopping of a bundle. |
| * <p> |
| * <code>BundleActivator</code> is an interface that may be implemented when a |
| * bundle is started or stopped. The Framework can create instances of a |
| * bundle's <code>BundleActivator</code> as required. If an instance's |
| * <code>BundleActivator.start</code> method executes successfully, it is |
| * guaranteed that the same instance's <code>BundleActivator.stop</code> |
| * method will be called when the bundle is to be stopped. The Framework must |
| * not concurrently call a <code>BundleActivator</code> object. |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * <code>BundleActivator</code> is specified through the |
| * <code>Bundle-Activator</code> Manifest header. A bundle can only specify a |
| * single <code>BundleActivator</code> in the Manifest file. Fragment bundles |
| * must not have a <code>BundleActivator</code>. The form of the Manifest |
| * header is: |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * <code>Bundle-Activator: <i>class-name</i></code> |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * where <code><i>class-name</i></code> is a fully qualified Java classname. |
| * <p> |
| * The specified <code>BundleActivator</code> class must have a public |
| * constructor that takes no parameters so that a <code>BundleActivator</code> |
| * object can be created by <code>Class.newInstance()</code>. |
| * |
| * @NotThreadSafe |
