/**
 * This interface is to be implemented by a JPA vendor to provide extensions to 
 * the core JPA model. The core JPA model will provide functionality for JPA
 * spec annotations in Java, <code>persistence.xml</code> and mapping
 * (<code>orm.xml</code>) files.
 * The <code>org.eclipse.jpt.jpa.core.generic</code> extension supplies 
 * resource models for those file types. As another vendor option you 
 * will have to supply those resource models as well or different ones 
 * as necessary. In the extension point you actually provide a
 * {@link JpaPlatformFactory} that will build the JPA platform.
 * <p>
 * Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still
 * under development and expected to change significantly before reaching
 * 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.
 * <p>
 * See the <code>org.eclipse.jpt.jpa.core.jpaPlatforms</code> extension point.
 * @see JpaPlatformFactory
 * @see JpaPlatformProvider
 * 
 * @version 3.0
 * @since 2.0
