Java API: compatible with lambda expressions
Actor base class that should be extended to create Java actors that use lambdas.
Example:
public class MyActorForJavaDoc extends AbstractActor{
@Override
public Receive createReceive() {
return receiveBuilder()
.match(Double.class, d -> {
sender().tell(d.isNaN() ? 0 : d, self());
})
.match(Integer.class, i -> {
sender().tell(i * 10, self());
})
.match(String.class, s -> s.startsWith("foo"), s -> {
sender().tell(s.toUpperCase(), self());
})
.build();
}
}

akka.actor.ActorContext is the Scala API. getContext returns a
akka.actor.AbstractActor.ActorContext, which is the Java API of the actor
context.
