Interface PackageTypeBehavior

All Known Implementing Classes:

The package types are either defined in the agent plugin descriptors or by the server-side package type plugins. The server-side plugins define a "behaviorClass" that implements this interface to provide additional runtime "hooks" controlling the package type behavior.
