Stage Descriptor
Description
The org.apache.avalon.meta.info.StageDescriptor class declares a depedency that a component has towards a stage interface handler (refer extension). A component may declare multiple stage depedencies. Each stage depedency references a version interface. A compliant container is responsible for handling the association of extension handlers with components that are dependent on custom stages by matching extension candidates based on the interface type reference.
