/**
* Class that is extended to define an optional preloader for a
* JavaFX Application.
* An application may contain a preloader that is used
* to improve the application loading experience.
*
*
* A preloader is a small application that is started
* before the main application to customize the startup experience.
* The preloader:
*
*
* - gets notification of progress of loading application resources
* - gets notification of errors
* - gets notification of application initialization and startup
* - decides when application should become visible
*
*
*
* The default preloader is shown on top of the application Stage, which is not
* visible until the preloader is visible. The preloader need to hide itself
* to make the application visible. Good practice is to do this no earlier than
* right before application.start() is called, as otherwise application itself
* is not visible.
*
*
*
* The preloader may also cooperate with the application to achieve advanced
* visual effects or share data (e.g. to implement login screen).
* The preloader gets a reference to the application and may pull data it
* needs for cooperation from the application if the application implements
* an interface that the preloader knows about and relies upon. Generally it
* is not recommended to design preloaders in such a way that an application
* would call them directly, as this will result in bad user experience if
* the application is signed and the preloader is not.
*
*
*
* If the application does not specify a preloader, then the default preloader
* is used. Default preloader appearance can be customized
* (set of parameters is TBD).
*
*
*
* Custom preloader implementations should follow these rules:
*
*
* - a custom preloader class should extend Preloader
* - classes needed for preloader need to be packaged in the separate jar.
*
*
*
* Applications may also send custom notification to the preloader using the
* {@link #notifyPreloader notifyPreloader} method. This way a preloader may
* also show application initialization progress.
*
*
*
* Note that preloaders are subject to the same rules as other JavaFX
* applications including FX threading rules. In particular, the class
* constructor and init() method will be called on a non-FX thread and start()
* will be executed on the FX application thread.
* This also means that the application constructor/init() will run concurrently
* with preloader start().
*
*
*
* Callbacks on preloader notification will be delivered on the FX
* application thread.
*
*
*
* Shutdown (including when stop() is called) is TBD.
*
* @since JavaFX 2.0
