 * MetaData associated with a Deployer. This is used by the deployment layers

 *      invalidatesClassLoader  Deployer can load classes that need to be reloaded
 *                              for the application to run successfully hence requiring
 *                              the class loader to be flushed and reinitialized between
 *                              the prepare and load phase.
 *      componentAPIs           Components can use APIs that are defined outside of the
 *                              component's bundle. These component's APIs (eg. Java EE
 *                              APIs) must be imported by the application class loader
 *                              before any application code is loaded.
