/**
 * A driver class for controlling bytecode editing with Javassist.
 * It manages where a class file is obtained and how it is modified.
 *
 * <p>A <code>ClassPool</code> object can be regarded as a container
 * of <code>CtClass</code> objects.  It reads class files on demand
 * from various
 * sources represented by <code>ClassPath</code> and create
 * <code>CtClass</code> objects representing those class files.
 * The source may be another <code>ClassPool</code>.  If so,
 * <code>write()</code> is called on the source <code>ClassPool</code>
 * for obtaining a class file.
 *
 * <p>A <code>CtClass</code>
 * object contained in a <code>ClassPool</code> is written to an
 * output stream (or a file) if <code>write()</code>
 * (or <code>writeFile()</code>) is called on the 
 * <code>ClassPool</code>.
 * <code>write()</code> is typically called by a class loader,
 * which obtains the bytecode image to be loaded.
 *
 * <p>The users can modify <code>CtClass</code> objects
 * before those objects are written out.
 * To obtain a reference
 * to a <code>CtClass</code> object contained in a
 * <code>ClassPool</code>, <code>get()</code> should be
 * called on the <code>ClassPool</code>.  If a <code>CtClass</code>
 * object is modified, then the modification is reflected on the resulting
 * class file returned by <code>write()</code> in <code>ClassPool</code>.
 *
 * <p>In summary,
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>get()</code> returns a reference to a <code>CtClass</code>
 *     object contained in a <code>ClassPool</code>.
 *
 * <li><code>write()</code> translates a <code>CtClass</code>
 * object contained in a <code>ClassPool</code> into a class file
 * and writes it to an output stream.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>The users can add a listener object receiving an event from a
 * <code>ClassPool</code>.  An event occurs when a listener is
 * added to a <code>ClassPool</code> and when <code>write()</code>
 * is called on a <code>ClassPool</code>.  The listener class
 * must implement <code>Translator</code>.  A typical listener object
 * is used for modifying a <code>CtClass</code> object <i>on demand</i>
 * when it is written to an output stream.
 *
 * <p>The implementation of this class is thread-safe.
