/**
* ResolverUtil is used to locate classes that are available in the/a class path and meet
* arbitrary conditions. The two most common conditions are that a class implements/extends
* another class, or that is it annotated with a specific annotation. However, through the use
* of the {@link Test} class it is possible to search using arbitrary conditions.
*
* A ClassLoader is used to locate all locations (directories and jar files) in the class
* path that contain classes within certain packages, and then to load those classes and
* check them. By default the ClassLoader returned by
* {@code Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()} is used, but this can be overridden
* by calling {@link #setClassLoader(ClassLoader)} prior to invoking any of the {@code find()}
* methods.
*
* General searches are initiated by calling the
* {@link #find(net.sourceforge.stripes.util.ResolverUtil.Test, String)} ()} method and supplying
* a package name and a Test instance. This will cause the named package and all sub-packages
* to be scanned for classes that meet the test. There are also utility methods for the common
* use cases of scanning multiple packages for extensions of particular classes, or classes
* annotated with a specific annotation.
*
* The standard usage pattern for the ResolverUtil class is as follows:
*
*
*ResolverUtil<ActionBean> resolver = new ResolverUtil<ActionBean>();
*resolver.findImplementation(ActionBean.class, pkg1, pkg2);
*resolver.find(new CustomTest(), pkg1);
*resolver.find(new CustomTest(), pkg2);
*Collection<ActionBean> beans = resolver.getClasses();
*
