This interface provides an extra degree of access to an extension registry that
might be useful to registry implementers.


At this time functionality available through this interface is not intended to
be used with the default Eclipse extension registry.


Note: This class/interface is part of an interim SPI that is still under
development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability.
It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering
adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this SPI will almost certainly
be broken (repeatedly) as the SPI evolves.


This interface is not intended to be extended by clients.


This interface should not be implemented by clients.


This interface can be used without OSGi running.



Since:3.4
@noextendThis interface is not intended to be extended by clients.

is constructed by the registry implementers.
