+/**
+ * <p>
+ * This is the super class of all the locale sensitive service provider
+ * interfaces (SPIs).
+ * <p>
+ * Locale sensitive  service provider interfaces are interfaces that
+ * correspond to locale sensitive classes in the <code>java.text</code>
+ * and <code>java.util</code> packages. The interfaces enable the
+ * construction of locale sensitive objects and the retrieval of
+ * localized names for these packages. Locale sensitive factory methods
+ * and methods for name retrieval in the <code>java.text</code> and
+ * <code>java.util</code> packages use implementations of the provider
+ * interfaces to offer support for locales beyond the set of locales
+ * supported by the Java runtime environment itself.
+ *
+ * <h3>Packaging of Locale Sensitive Service Provider Implementations</h3>
+ * Implementations of these locale sensitive services are packaged using the
+ * <a href="../../../../technotes/guides/extensions/index.html">Java Extension Mechanism</a>
+ * as installed extensions.  A provider identifies itself with a
+ * provider-configuration file in the resource directory META-INF/services,
+ * using the fully qualified provider interface class name as the file name.
+ * The file should contain a list of fully-qualified concrete provider class names,
+ * one per line. A line is terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage
+ * return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a line feed. Space
+ * and tab characters surrounding each name, as well as blank lines, are ignored.
+ * The comment character is '#' ('\u0023'); on each line all characters following
+ * the first comment character are ignored. The file must be encoded in UTF-8.
+ * <p>
+ * If a particular concrete provider class is named in more than one configuration
+ * file, or is named in the same configuration file more than once, then the
+ * duplicates will be ignored. The configuration file naming a particular provider
+ * need not be in the same jar file or other distribution unit as the provider itself.
+ * The provider must be accessible from the same class loader that was initially
+ * queried to locate the configuration file; this is not necessarily the class loader
+ * that loaded the file.
+ * <p>
+ * For example, an implementation of the
+ * {@link java.text.spi.DateFormatProvider DateFormatProvider} class should
+ * take the form of a jar file which contains the file:
+ * <pre>
+ * META-INF/services/java.text.spi.DateFormatProvider
+ * </pre>
+ * And the file <code>java.text.spi.DateFormatProvider</code> should have
+ * a line such as:
+ * <pre>
+ * <code>com.foo.DateFormatProviderImpl</code>
+ * </pre>
+ * which is the fully qualified class name of the class implementing
+ * <code>DateFormatProvider</code>.
+ * <h4>Invocation of Locale Sensitive Services</h4>
+ * <p>
+ * Locale sensitive factory methods and methods for name retrieval in the
+ * <code>java.text</code> and <code>java.util</code> packages invoke
+ * service provider methods when needed to support the requested locale.
+ * The methods first check whether the Java runtime environment itself
+ * supports the requested locale, and use its support if available.
+ * Otherwise, they call the {@link #isSupportedLocale(Locale) isSupportedLocale}
+ * methods of installed providers for the appropriate interface to find one that
+ * supports the requested locale. If such a provider is found, its other
+ * methods are called to obtain the requested object or name.  When checking
+ * whether a locale is supported, the <a href="../Locale.html#def_extensions">
+ * locale's extensions</a> are ignored by default. (If locale's extensions should
+ * also be checked, the {@code isSupportedLocale} method must be overridden.)
+ * If neither the Java runtime environment itself nor an installed provider
+ * supports the requested locale, the methods go through a list of candidate
+ * locales and repeat the availability check for each until a match is found.
+ * The algorithm used for creating a list of candidate locales is same as
+ * the one used by <code>ResourceBundle</code> by default (see
+ * {@link java.util.ResourceBundle.Control#getCandidateLocales getCandidateLocales}
+ * for the details).  Even if a locale is resolved from the candidate list,
+ * methods that return requested objects or names are invoked with the original
+ * requested locale including {@code Locale} extensions. The Java runtime
+ * environment must support the root locale for all locale sensitive services in
+ * order to guarantee that this process terminates.
+ * <p>
+ * Providers of names (but not providers of other objects) are allowed to
+ * return null for some name requests even for locales that they claim to
+ * support by including them in their return value for
+ * <code>getAvailableLocales</code>. Similarly, the Java runtime
+ * environment itself may not have all names for all locales that it
+ * supports. This is because the sets of objects for which names are
+ * requested can be large and vary over time, so that it's not always
+ * feasible to cover them completely. If the Java runtime environment or a
+ * provider returns null instead of a name, the lookup will proceed as
+ * described above as if the locale was not supported.
+ * <p>
+ * Starting from JDK8, the search order of locale sensitive services can
+ * be configured by using the "java.locale.providers" system property.
+ * This system property declares the user's preferred order for looking up
+ * the locale sensitive services separated by a comma. It is only read at
+ * the Java runtime startup, so the later call to System.setProperty() won't
+ * affect the order.
+ * <p>
+ * For example, if the following is specified in the property:
+ * <pre>
+ * java.locale.providers=SPI,JRE
+ * </pre>
+ * where "SPI" represents the locale sensitive services implemented in the
+ * installed SPI providers, and "JRE" represents the locale sensitive services
+ * in the Java Runtime Environment, the locale sensitive services in the SPI
+ * providers are looked up first.
+ * <p>
+ * There are two other possible locale sensitive service providers, i.e., "CLDR"
+ * which is a provider based on Unicode Consortium's
+ * <a href="http://cldr.unicode.org/">CLDR Project</a>, and "HOST" which is a
+ * provider that reflects the user's custom settings in the underlying operating
+ * system. These two providers may not be available, depending on the Java Runtime
+ * Environment implementation. Specifying "JRE,SPI" is identical to the default
+ * behavior, which is compatibile with the prior releases.
+ *
+ * @since        1.6
