/**
 * A key to a piece of metadata associated with a Component at runtime. The key contains type
 * information that can be used to check the type of any metadata value for the key when the value
 * is set on the given Component. MetaDataKey is abstract in order to force the creation of a
 * subtype. That subtype is used to test for identity when looking for the metadata because actual
 * object identity would suffer from problems under serialization. So, the correct way to declare a
 * MetaDataKey is like this: public static MetaDataKey ROLE = new MetaDataKey(Role.class) { }
 *
