00005  * <p>This package contains the add-ons' catalogue implementation.</p>
00006  * <p>Main functionalities:</p>
00007  * <ul>
00008  *   <li>The catalogue makes an inventory of all available add-ons, in a given JAR.</li>
00009  *   <li>Given the name of an add-on, it returns an instance of the add-on.</li>
00010  * </ul>
00011  *
00012  * Please note that there are two main kinds of add-ons:
00013  * <ul>
00014  *    <li>Input add-ons.</li>
00015  *    <li>Output add-ons.</li>
00016  * </ul>
00017  *
00018  * Output add-ons are divided into categories. Currently, we define the following categories:
00019  * <ul>
00020  *    <li>Add-ons used to represent tables (and relations between tables).</li>
00021  * </ul>
