/**
 * The {@code ServiceComponentRuntime} service represents the Declarative
 * Services main controller also known as the Service Component Runtime or SCR
 * for short. It provides access to the components managed by the Service
 * Component Runtime.
 * 
 * <p>
 * This service differentiates between a {@link ComponentDescriptionDTO} and a
 * {@link ComponentConfigurationDTO}. A {@link ComponentDescriptionDTO} is a
 * representation of a declared component description. A
 * {@link ComponentConfigurationDTO} is a representation of an actual instance of a
 * declared component description parameterized by component properties.
 * <p>
 * 
 * Access to this service requires the
 * {@code ServicePermission[ServiceComponentRuntime, GET]} permission. It is
 * intended that only administrative bundles should be granted this permission
 * to limit access to the potentially intrusive methods provided by this
 * service.
