***DISCLAIMER***: _These notes are from the defunct k8 project which_
_precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26!_
_The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such_
_all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no_
_longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it._

Currently with ServiceManager I would be eventually be rewriting ServiceLoader
twice which is not what I want to do. Instead, I can have it wrap
ServiceLoader (if it exists) and then use a property to define extra services.
This way on Java 5 I can use -D while on Java 6 and above ServiceLoader would
be used. This way I can cheat the plugin-manager in a bit while still using
ServiceLoader.

My freshly written IteratorChain should help me with the chaining of the class
loader iterators.

## 06:52

I will need to remember to place information on the available services later
on somehow in the faux package building scripts.

The property based loader works.

What I need to use now is write the actual plugins, I made build-source-db
take an input and an output. I also need to write -help for ArgumentParsing.

## 23:55

I decided to build a template class to reduce all the duplicate code in all of
the Mains, since they do the same argument parsing loop, have similar
enumerations, so merging them all has simplified things. One change in the
TemplateMain will change all the Mains.
