Interface ExtensionValidator

@Role
public interface ExtensionValidator

Check if executing a given action on a passed extension is allowed.

Mostly used for default behavior when ExtensionHandler does not have any special check for its type. The goal is to make easy for any environment using commons-extension module to have a default restriction on all extensions types (for example in XWiki unless the type has special checking you need programming right to install an extension).
