+ * A reference to a service.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The Framework returns <code>ServiceReference</code> objects from the
+ * <code>BundleContext.getServiceReference</code> and
+ * <code>BundleContext.getServiceReferences</code> methods.
+ * <p>
+ * A <code>ServiceReference</code> object may be shared between bundles and can be
+ * used to examine the properties of the service and to get the service object.
+ * <p>
+ * Every service registered in the Framework has a unique
+ * <code>ServiceRegistration</code> object and may have multiple, distinct
+ * <code>ServiceReference</code> objects referring to it.
+ * <code>ServiceReference</code> objects associated with a
+ * <code>ServiceRegistration</code> object have the same <code>hashCode</code>
+ * and are considered equal (more specifically, their <code>equals()</code>
+ * method will return <code>true</code> when compared).
+ * <p>
+ * If the same service object is registered multiple times,
+ * <code>ServiceReference</code> objects associated with different
+ * <code>ServiceRegistration</code> objects are not equal.
+ *
+ * @version $Revision: 1.11 $
