/**
 * This workspace manager class provides an SPI for firing up the Tuscany runtime 
 * and for providing access to the Tuscany ExtensionPointRegsitry. With a reference to the
 * registry you can add new extension points programmatically before starting the runtime.
 * Once the runtime is started you can read contributions, create a workspace, populate it
 * and then resolve it. 
 * 
 * A workspace is a collection of contributions. A workspace populated
 * with one or more contribution models can be resolved to ensure
 * that all referenced artifacts are located. When more than one contribution
 * model is present resolution takes into account the import and export relationships 
 * between contributions.
