+/**
+ * <p>
+ * Facilities for loading service providers. A service is
+ * defined by a set of interfaces or abstract classes, and
+ * a service provider gives a concrete implementation of this.
+ * Service providers may be installed as part of the runtime
+ * environment using JAR files in the extension directories,
+ * or may be simply supplied on the classpath.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * In terms of loading a service, the service is defined by
+ * a single interface or abstract class which the provider
+ * implements. This may not constitute the entire service,
+ * but is simply a mechanism by which a provider of the
+ * service can be loaded and its capabilities determined.
+ * The variety of possible services means that no more
+ * requirements are made of the service provider other than
+ * that it must have an accessible zero argument constructor
+ * in order to allow an instance to be created.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Service providers are listed in a file named after the
+ * service type in the directory <code>META-INF/services</code>.
+ * The file contains a list of classes, and must be encoded
+ * using UTF-8. Whitespace is ignored. Comments can be
+ * included by using a <code>'#'</code> prefix; anything occurring
+ * on the same line after this symbol is ignored. Duplicate classes
+ * are ignored.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The classes are loaded using the same classloader that was
+ * queried in order to locate the configuration file. As a result,
+ * the providers do not need to reside in the same JAR file as the
+ * resource; they merely have to be accessible to this classloader,
+ * which may differ from the one that loaded the file itself.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Providers are located and instantiated lazily, as calls to the
+ * {@link #iterator()} are made. Providers are cached, and those in
+ * the cache are returned first. The cache may be cleared by calling
+ * {@link #reload()}. Service loaders always execute in the security
+ * context of the caller, so ideally calls should be made from a trusted
+ * source.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Note that this class is not thread-safe, and that strange errors may
+ * occur as the result of the use of remote URLs occurring on the classpath,
+ * which lead to erroneous web pages.
+ * </p>
