/**
* The <code>DEAConstants</code> provides some constants for
* handling distributed OSGi events.
* <p>
* If an event should be sent to other instances, the event
* property {@link #PROPERTY_DISTRIBUTE} should be set to
* an empty string.
* <p>
* An event, regardless if distributed or not, should never be
* created with the property {@link #PROPERTY_APPLICATION}. In
* addition properties starting with "event.dea." are reserved
* attributes of this implementation and must not be used
* by custom events.
* <p>
* If the event is a local event, the {@link #PROPERTY_APPLICATION}
* is not available. If it is available, it contains the application
* (Sling ID) of the instance where the event originated.
