/**
 * Container for a table generator and/or sequence generator and/or uuid generator.
 * Used by entities and ID mappings.
 * <p>
 * <strong>NB:</strong> The <code>eclipselink-orm.xml</code> entity mappings element can
 * hold more than a single uuid generator, so it does not use this
 * container.
 * <p>
 * Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still

 * stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from
 * pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API
 * will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
