/**
 * An installed plugin in the Framework.
 *
 * <p>
 * A <code>%ctkPlugin</code> object is the access point to define the lifecycle of
 * an installed plugin. Each plugin installed in the plugin environment must have
 * an associated <code>%ctkPlugin</code> object.
 *
 * <p>
 * A plugin must have a unique identity, a <code>long</code>, chosen by the
 * Framework. This identity must not change during the lifecycle of a plugin,
 * even when the plugin is updated. Uninstalling and then reinstalling the
 * plugin must create a new unique identity.
 *
 * <p>
 * A plugin can be in one of six states:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #UNINSTALLED}
 * <li>{@link #INSTALLED}
 * <li>{@link #RESOLVED}
 * <li>{@link #STARTING}
 * <li>{@link #STOPPING}
 * <li>{@link #ACTIVE}
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * They can be ORed together using the <code>States</code> type to
 * determine if a plugin is in one of the valid states.
 *
 * <p>
 * A plugin should only execute code when its state is one of
 * <code>STARTING</code>, <code>ACTIVE</code>, or <code>STOPPING</code>.
 * An <code>UNINSTALLED</code> plugin can not be set to another state; it is a
 * zombie and can only be reached because references are kept somewhere.
 *
 * <p>
 * The Framework is the only entity that is allowed to create
 * <code>%ctkPlugin</code> objects, and these objects are only valid within the
 * Framework that created them.
