public interface IServiceLocator
A component with which one or more services are registered. The services can
be retrieved from this locator using some key -- typically the class
representing the interface the service must implement. For example:
IHandlerService service = (IHandlerService) workbenchWindow
.getService(IHandlerService.class);
This interface is not to be implemented or extended by clients.
