+ * <p>
+ * This interface is introduced to support tools like PointcutDoctor.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * A CustomMungerFactory is used to create ShadowMungers and/or
+ * ConcreteTypeMungers so that an extender can extract extra information during
+ * the weaving process.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * A CustomMungerFactory is assigned to a weaver through its AjCompiler in
+ * extenders' code, and gets invoked by the weaver right before the weaving
+ * starts. The custom shadow/type mungers being created will be added into the
+ * shadow/type munger list in the weaver and participate the weaving process.
+ * For example, the match method of each custom shadow munger will be called
+ * against each shadow.
