public interface BridJRuntime

Interface that each specific pluggable native runtime must implement.
A runtime is attached to a class via the Runtime annotation, so any runtime can be added in thirdparty libraries.
A runtime typically defines NativeObject subclasses and deals with their instances lifecycle through the type information metadata BridJRuntime.TypeInfo class.
