*
* - If {@code service} is not a {@code ServiceFactory}, an
* {@code IllegalArgumentException} is thrown if {@code service} is not an
* {@code instanceof} all the classes named.
* - The Framework adds these service properties to the specified
* {@code Dictionary} (which may be {@code null}): a property named
* {@link org.osgi.framework.Constants#SERVICE_ID} identifying the
* registration number of the service and a property named
* {@link org.osgi.framework.Constants#OBJECTCLASS} containing all the
* specified classes. If any of these properties have already been specified
* by the registering bundle, their values will be overwritten by the
* Framework.
* - The service is added to the Framework service registry and may now be
* used by others.
* - A service event of type
* {@link org.osgi.framework.ServiceEvent#REGISTERED} is fired. This event
* triggers the corresponding {@link ApplicationServiceEvent} to be
* delivered to the applications that registered the appropriate listener.
* - A {@code ServiceRegistration} object for this registration is
* returned.

* properties under the key
* {@link org.osgi.framework.Constants#OBJECTCLASS}. This parameter
* must not be {@code null}.

* @param properties The properties for this service. The keys in the
* properties object must all be {@code String} objects. See
* {@link org.osgi.framework.Constants} for a list of standard
* service property keys. Changes should not be made to this object
* after calling this method. To update the service's properties the
* {@link org.osgi.framework.ServiceRegistration#setProperties(Dictionary)}
* method must be called. The set of properties may be {@code null}
* if the service has no properties.
