/**
 * This annotation can mark resource classes or resource methods that should be considered as extended resources.
 * 
 * Extended resource model components are helper components that are not considered as a core of a
 * RESTful API. These can be for example {@code OPTIONS} {@link ResourceMethod resource methods}
 * added by {@link org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.ModelProcessor model processors}
 * or {@code application.wadl} resource producing the WADL. Both resource are rather supportive
 * than the core of RESTful API.
 * 
 * 
 * Marking resources and resource methods as extended can influence the way how these components
 * are processed in Jersey features like WADL generation or monitoring. Extended resources are
 * for example skipped when generation WADL in simple default format.
