This artifact provides a single jar that contains all classes required to use remote EJB and JMS, including
all dependencies. It is intended for use by those not using maven, maven users should just import the EJB and
JMS BOM's instead (shaded JAR's cause lots of problems with maven, as it is very easy to inadvertently end up
with different versions on classes on the class path).

/**
* This interface models a WorkManager which provides a facility
* to submit Work instances for execution. This frees the user
* from having to create Java™ threads directly to do work. Further, this
* allows efficient pooling of thread resources and more control over thread
* usage.
*
* The various stages in Work processing are:
*
* - work submit: A
Work instance is being submitted for
* execution. The Work instance could either be accepted or
* rejected with a WorkRejectedException set to an appropriate
* error code.
*
* - work accepted: The submitted
Work instance has been
* accepted. The accepted Work instance could either start
* execution or could be rejected again with a
* WorkRejectedException set to an appropriate error code.
* There is no guarantee on when the execution would start unless a start
* timeout duration is specified. When a start timeout is specified, the
* Work execution must be started within the specified
* duration (not a real-time guarantee), failing which a
* WorkRejectedException set to an error code
* (WorkRejected.TIMED_OUT) is thrown.
*
* - work rejected: The
Work instance has been rejected.
* The Work instance could be rejected during Work
* submittal or after the Work instance has been accepted
* (but before Work instance starts execution). The rejection could be due
* to internal factors or start timeout expiration. A
* WorkRejectedException with an appropriate error code
* (indicates the reason) is thrown in both cases.
*
* - work started: The execution of the
Work
* instance has started. This means that a thread
* has been allocated for its execution. But this
* does not guarantee that the allocated thread has been scheduled to run
* on a CPU resource. Once execution is started, the allocated thread
* sets up an appropriate execution context (transaction , security, etc)
* and calls Work.run(). Note, any exception thrown during execution context
* setup or Work.run() leads to completion of processing.
*
* - work completed: The execution of the
Work has been
* completed. The execution could complete with or without an exception.
* The WorkManager catches any exception thrown during
* Work processing (which includes execution context setup),
* and wraps it with a WorkCompletedException.
