/**
* Package Capability and Requirement Namespace.
*
*
* A resource provides zero or more package capabilities (this is, exported
* packages) and requires zero or more package requirements (that is, imported
* packages).
*
*
* This class defines the names for the attributes and directives for this
* namespace. All unspecified capability attributes are of type {@code String}
* and are used as arbitrary matching attributes for the capability. The values
* associated with the specified directive and attribute keys are of type
* {@code String}, unless otherwise indicated.
*
*
* Unless otherwise noted, all directives specified on the
* {@code Export-Package} header are visible in the capability and all
* directives specified on the {@code Import-Package} and
* {@code DynamicImport-Package} headers are visible in the requirement.
*
*
* - The {@link Namespace#CAPABILITY_EFFECTIVE_DIRECTIVE effective}
* {@link Namespace#REQUIREMENT_EFFECTIVE_DIRECTIVE directives} must be ignored.
* This namespace is only effective at {@link Namespace#EFFECTIVE_RESOLVE
* resolve} time. An {@code effective} directive specified on the
* {@code Export-Package}, {@code Import-Package} or
* {@code DynamicImport-Package} headers must be ignored. An {@code effective}
* directive must not be present in a capability or requirement.
* - The {@link Namespace#REQUIREMENT_CARDINALITY_DIRECTIVE cardinality}
* directive has limited applicability to this namespace. A {@code cardinality}
* directive specified on the {@code Import-Package} or
* {@code DynamicImport-Package} headers must be ignored. Only requirements with
* {@link Namespace#REQUIREMENT_RESOLUTION_DIRECTIVE resolution} set to
* {@link #RESOLUTION_DYNAMIC dynamic} and the package name contains a wildcard
* must have the {@code cardinality} directive set to
* {@link Namespace#CARDINALITY_MULTIPLE multiple}. Otherwise, a
* {@code cardinality} directive must not be present in a requirement.
