-/**
- * Factory of extensions. It allows to dynamically create extensions depending upon runtime context. One use-case is
- * to create one rule repository by language.
- *
- * <p>Notes :
- * <ul>
- * <li>the provider is declared in Plugin.getExtensions()</li>
- * <li>the provider must also add annotation {@link ServerSide}, {@link ComputeEngineSide} and/or {@link BatchSide}</li>
- * <li>the provider can accept dependencies (parameters) in its constructors.</li>
- * <li>the method provide() is executed once by the platform</li>
- * <li>the method provide() must return an object, a class or an Iterable of objects. <strong>Arrays are excluded</strong>.</li>
- * </ul>
- * 
- *
- * <p>Example:
- * <pre>
- * {@code
- * {@literal @}ServerSide
- * public class RuleRepositoryProvider extends ExtensionProvider {
- *   private Language[] languages;
- *
- *   public RuleRepositoryProvider(Language[] languages) {
- *     this.languages = languages;
- *   }
- *
- *   public List<RuleRepository> provide() {
- *     List<RuleRepository> result = new ArrayList<RuleRepository>();
- *     for(Language language: languages) {
- *       result.add(new RuleRepository(..., language, ...));
- *     }
- *     return result;
- *   }
- * }
- * }
- * </pre>
- * 
- *
- * @since 2.3
- * @deprecated since 6.0 should no more be used
