/**
* AssetManager provides an interface for managing the data assets
* of a jME3 application.
*
* The asset manager provides a means to register {@link AssetLocator}s,
* which are used to find asset data on disk, network, or other file system.
* The asset locators are invoked in order of addition to find the asset data.
* Use the {@link #registerLocator(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class) } method
* to add new {@link AssetLocator}s.
* Some examples of locators:
*
* - {@link FileLocator} - Used to find assets on the local file system.
* - {@link ClasspathLocator} - Used to find assets in the Java classpath
*
*
* The asset data is represented by the {@link AssetInfo} class, this
* data is passed into the registered {@link AssetLoader}s in order to
* convert the data into a usable object. Use the
* {@link #registerLoader(java.lang.Class, java.lang.String[]) } method
* to add loaders.
* Some examples of loaders:
*
* - {@link OBJLoader} - Used to load Wavefront .OBJ model files
* - {@link TGALoader} - Used to load Targa image files
*
*
* Once the asset has been loaded, it will be
* {@link AssetProcessor#postProcess(com.jme3.asset.AssetKey, java.lang.Object)
* post-processed} by the {@link AssetKey#getProcessorType() key's processor}.
* If the key specifies a {@link AssetKey#getCacheType() cache type}, the asset
* will be cached in the specified cache. Next, the {@link AssetProcessor}
* will be requested to {@link AssetProcessor#createClone(java.lang.Object) }
* generate a clone for the asset. Some assets do not require cloning,
* such as immutable or shared assets. Others, like models, must be cloned
* so that modifications to one instance do not leak onto others.
