The central class of the Eclipse Platform Runtime. This class cannot
be instantiated or subclassed by clients; all functionality is provided
by static methods.  Features include:

the platform registry of installed plug-ins
the platform adapter manager
the platform log
the authorization info management

 Most users don't have to worry about Platform's lifecycle. However, if your code can call methods of this class when Platform is not running, it becomes necessary to check isRunning() before making the call. A runtime exception might be thrown or incorrect result might be returned if a method from this class is called while Platform is not running.
