/**
* A path from one {@link TransitionableState state} to another {@link State state}.
*
* When executed a transition takes a flow execution from its current state, called the source state, to another
* state, called the target state. A transition may become eligible for execution on the occurrence of an
* {@link Event} from within a transitionable source state.
*
* When an event occurs within this transition's source TransitionableState the determination of the
* eligibility of this transition is made by a TransitionCriteria object called the matching criteria.
* If the matching criteria returns true this transition is marked eligible for execution for that event.
*
* Determination as to whether an eligible transition should be allowed to execute is made by a
* TransitionCriteria object called the execution criteria. If the execution criteria test fails
* this transition will roll back and reenter its source state. If the execution criteria test succeeds this
* transition will execute and take the flow to the transition's target state.
*
* The target state of this transition is typically specified at configuration time in a static manner. If the target
* state of this transition needs to be calculated in a dynamic fashion at runtime configure a
* {@link TargetStateResolver} that supports such calculations.
