/**
* A synchronous <code>BundleEvent</code> listener.
* <code>SynchronousBundleListener</code> is a listener interface that may be
* implemented by a bundle developer. When a <code>BundleEvent</code> is
* fired, it is synchronously delivered to a
* <code>SynchronousBundleListener</code>. The Framework may deliver
* <code>BundleEvent</code> objects to a
* <code>SynchronousBundleListener</code> out of order and may concurrently
* call and/or reenter a <code>SynchronousBundleListener</code>.
* <p>
* A <code>SynchronousBundleListener</code> object is registered with the
* Framework using the {@link BundleContext#addBundleListener} method.
* <code>SynchronousBundleListener</code> objects are called with a
* <code>BundleEvent</code> object when a bundle has been installed, resolved,
* starting, started, stopping, stopped, updated, unresolved, or uninstalled.
* <p>
* Unlike normal <code>BundleListener</code> objects,
* <code>SynchronousBundleListener</code>s are synchronously called during
* bundle lifecycle processing. The bundle lifecycle processing will not proceed
* until all <code>SynchronousBundleListener</code>s have completed.
* <code>SynchronousBundleListener</code> objects will be called prior to
* <code>BundleListener</code> objects.
* <p>
* <code>AdminPermission[bundle,LISTENER]</code> is required to add or remove
* a <code>SynchronousBundleListener</code> object.
*
* @since 1.1
* @see BundleEvent
* @ThreadSafe
* @version $Revision: 5673 $
