/**

 * <p>

 * This service is used to create a bundle that contains a package of plugin

 * type. It supports just one package for every installer. It contains a method

 * to set the plugin path and some methods to set the installer information.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * It has also methods to load the installed plugins from a directory (if

 * exists) and methods to create the bundle file in an {@link OutputStream}.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * A plugin package has the same structure of a standard package defined in

 * {@link InstallerManager} but it adds some new files. An example of the

 * structure of a bundle with a plugin package could be:

 * </p>

 * 

 * <pre>

 * - bundle (compressed file)

 *                 - org.gvsig.plugin1-1_0_0-23 (compressed file)

 *                         - org.gvsig.plugin1

 *                                   - package.info   

 *                          - install.xml

 *                          - files

 *                                  - gvSIG

 *                                          - extensiones

 *                                                  - org.gvsig.plugin2

 *                                                          - file1

 *                                                          - file2

 * </pre>

 * <p>

 * This structure has some extra files:

 * </p>

 * <lu> <li><b>install.xml</b>: ant file that is executed in the execution of

 * the installer to do some extra actions in the installation process. One of

 * these actions is copy all the files located in the files directory</li> <li>

 * <b>files directory</b>: it contains some files of other extensions that have

 * to be copied using the ant script.</li> </lu>

 * <p>

 * The usage of the ant script to copy files from other plugins is not

 * recommended because it is possible that different installers overrides the

 * same file. The suggestion it that one plugin has to have all the files that

 * it needs to work inside the plugin and it never has to override some external

 * files.

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * The implementations of this interface have to have a constructor with a File

 * parameter that is the directory when the plugins are located. If the

 * directory doens't exists the creation throws an exception.

 * </p>
