/**
 * This class defines a data structure for holding information about scheduled
 * tasks as used by the Ping Identity, UnboundID, or Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661
 * Directory Server.  Subclasses will be used to provide additional
 * functionality when dealing with certain types of tasks.
 * <BR>
 * <BLOCKQUOTE>
 *   <B>NOTE:</B>  This class, and other classes within the
 *   {@code com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds} package structure, are only
 *   supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and
 *   Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products.  These classes provide support
 *   for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not
 *   considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an
 *   interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.
 * </BLOCKQUOTE>
 * <BR>
 * All types of tasks can include the following information:
 * <UL>
 *   <LI>Task ID -- Uniquely identifies the task in the server.  It may be
 *       omitted when scheduling a new task in order to have a task ID generated
 *       for the task.</LI>
 *   <LI>Task Class Name -- The fully-qualified name of the {@code Task}
 *       subclass that provides the logic for the task.  This does not need to
 *       be provided when creating a new task from one of the task-specific
 *       subclasses.</LI>
 *   <LI>Task State -- The current state of the task.  See the {@link TaskState}
 *       enum for information about the possible states that a task may
 *       have.</LI>
 *   <LI>Scheduled Start Time -- The earliest time that the task should be
 *       eligible to start.  It may be omitted when scheduling a new task in
 *       order to use the current time.</LI>
 *   <LI>Actual Start Time -- The time that server started processing the
 *       task.</LI>
 *   <LI>Actual Start Time -- The time that server completed processing for the
 *       task.</LI>
 *   <LI>Dependency IDs -- A list of task IDs for tasks that must complete
 *       before this task may be considered eligible to start.</LI>
 *   <LI>Failed Dependency Action -- Specifies how the server should treat this
 *       task if any of the tasks on which it depends failed.  See the
 *       {@link FailedDependencyAction} enum for the failed dependency action
 *       values that may be used.</LI>
 *   <LI>Notify on Completion -- A list of e-mail addresses for users that
 *       should be notified when the task completes, regardless of whether it
 *       was successful.</LI>
 *   <LI>Notify On Error -- A list of e-mail addresses for users that should be
 *       notified if the task fails.</LI>
 *   <LI>Log Messages -- A list of the messages logged by the task while it was
 *       running.</LI>
 * </UL>
 * Each of these elements can be retrieving using specific methods within this
 * class (e.g., the {@link Task#getTaskID} method can be used to retrieve the
 * task ID), but task properties (including those specific to the particular
 * type to task) may also be accessed using a generic API.  For example, the
 * {@link Task#getTaskPropertyValues} method retrieves a map that correlates the
 * {@link TaskProperty} objects for the task with the values that have been set
 * for those properties.  See the documentation for the {@link TaskManager}
 * class for an example that demonstrates accessing task information using the
 * generic API.
 * <BR><BR>
 * Also note that it is possible to create new tasks using information obtained
 * from the generic API, but that is done on a per-class basis.  For example, in
 * order to create a new {@link BackupTask} instance using the generic API, you
 * would use the {@link BackupTask#BackupTask(Map)} constructor, in which the
 * provided map contains a mapping between the properties and their values for
 * that task.  The {@link Task#getTaskSpecificProperties} method may be used to
 * retrieve a list of the task-specific properties that may be provided when
 * scheduling a task, and the {@link Task#getCommonTaskProperties} method may be
 * used to retrieve a list of properties that can be provided when scheduling
 * any type of task.
