/**
 * External system integration consists of common 'external system' functionality and external system-specific code. There are at
 * least two approaches how to work with that external system-specific code:
 *  * 
 *   use it from the ide process;
 *   create a slave process and perform external system-specific actions there;
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * E.g. when we work with particular external system api it might worth to do that at a separate process in order to avoid bad stuff
 * like memory leaks to happen at the ide process. However, when external system-specific communication just starts new external
 * system-process, there is no point in creating intermediate mediator process just to launch new process.
 * 
 * That's why that stuff is covered by the current interface, i.e. different implementations are supposed to provide
 * different 'in process' modes.
