/**
 * The {@code BundleTrackerCustomizer} interface allows a {@code BundleTracker}
 * to customize the {@code Bundle}s that are tracked. A
 * {@code BundleTrackerCustomizer} is called when a bundle is being added to a
 * {@code BundleTracker}. The {@code BundleTrackerCustomizer} can then return an
 * object for the tracked bundle. A {@code BundleTrackerCustomizer} is also
 * called when a tracked bundle is modified or has been removed from a
 * {@code BundleTracker}.
 * 
 * 
 * The methods in this interface may be called as the result of a
 * {@code BundleEvent} being received by a {@code BundleTracker}. Since
 * {@code BundleEvent}s are received synchronously by the {@code BundleTracker},
 * it is highly recommended that implementations of these methods do not alter
 * bundle states while being synchronized on any object.
 * 
 * 

 * The {@code BundleTracker} class is thread-safe. It does not call a
 * {@code BundleTrackerCustomizer} while holding any locks.
 * {@code BundleTrackerCustomizer} implementations must also be thread-safe.
 * 
 * @param  The type of the tracked object.
 * @ThreadSafe
