Interface Describer

public interface Describer

Every Extension must ship with one implementation of this interface which has to be discoverable through standard SPI and have a default constructor.

This describer returns a Descriptor which contains a raw representation of the extension.

The platform will discover all the describers, transform the returned Descriptors into Extensions and register them.

To allow customization of the describing process, implementations will use standard SPI discovery mechanism to locale registered instances of DescriberPostProcessor which are invoked in order.
