/**
 * Features allow clients to intercept the native image generation and run custom initialization
 * code at various stages. All code within feature classes is executed during native image
 * generation, and never at run time.
 * 

* Features have several advantages over static class initializers (which also run during native * image generation): *

    *
  • The different feature methods are called at different stages during native image generation, * which gives clients control over when code is executed. *
  • Feature methods have an {@code access} parameter that allows callbacks into the native image * generator. *
  • Feature methods run when the {@link ImageSingletons} is already set up, which allows features * to prepare data structures that are then used at run time by querying the {@link ImageSingletons} * . *
*

* Implementation classes must have a no-argument constructor, which is used to instantiate a * singleton instance for each feature using reflection. The following features are included during * native image generation: *

    *
  • Features explicitly specified on the command line.
  • *
  • Features referenced as {@link #getRequiredFeatures() required} by another included feature. * Required features are added transitively, and initialization methods of required features are * called after invoking the constructor and {@link #isInConfiguration} of the requiring features * (unless the feature dependencies are cyclic). *
