26  * Defines an API for registering custom Java platform installer. The installer
27  * is responsible for instantiation of {@link JavaPlatform} through the provided
28  * TemplateWizard.Iterator. If your installer selects the platform on the local disk you
29  * probably don't want to use this class, the {@link PlatformInstall} class
30  * creates an platform chooser for you. You want to use this class if the
31  * platform is not on the local disk, eg. you want to download it from the web.
