Additional top-level class in compilation unit: ConditionImpl.
In dynamic systems, such as OSGi, one of the more challenging problems can be to define when a system or part of it is ready to do work. The answer can change depending on the individual perspective. The developer of a web server might say, the system is ready when the server starts listening on port 80. An application developer however would define the system as ready when the database connection is up and all servlets are registered. Taking the application developers view, the web server should start listening on port 80 when the application is ready and not beforehand.
The Condition service interface is a marker interface designed to
address this issue. Its role is to provide a dependency that can be tracked.
It acts as a defined signal to other services.
A Condition service must be registered with the
Condition#CONDITION_ID service property.
