The installation process install packages in gvSIG. These packages has a type, that can be a plugin, theme, translation, etc. For every type of package the installation process needs a provider for installing the packages.

All the packages to install have to have some install properties defined by the PackageInfo class. This class is just a set of properties and there is a property named type that can be retrieved by the PackageInfo.getType() method that defines the package type. This property is used to create a InstallPackageProvider that is used to install the selected package.

This manager provides the functionality to register and to create a providers for every package.
