/**
 * The Deployer interface describes how to deploy manually controlled {@link Deployment}'s during test execution.
 * <p>
 * By default {@link Deployment}'s are managed by Arquillian, which mean Arquillian will perform the deploy and undeploy
 * operations for you automatically in the background. In some cases you might want a more fine grained control over the
 * deployment lifecycle. e.g. You might need to test some kind of auto discovery feature of your application that happens
 * during startup?
 * In this case you can define a {@link Deployment} to not be {@link Deployment#managed()} = false and
 * use the Deployer to manually deploy and undeploy them at your own will.
 * <p>
 * Usage Example:<br/>
 * <pre><code>
 * @Deployment(name = "X", managed = false)
 * public static WebArchive create() {
 *      return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class);
 * }
 *
 * @ArquillianResource
 * private Deployer deployer;
 *
 * @Test @RunAsClient
 * public void shouldDeployX() {
 *      deployer.deploy("X");
 * }
 * </code></pre>

     * NOTE: If you want to run a test in a container, you cannot deploy a deployment from this test on the same container
     * that the test is
     * running in.
     * </p>
     * This is NOT correct for a test running in a container:<br/>

     * If you run the test in this way for the very first deployment the test will be launched on the client side. If you
     * try to redeploy
     * a deployment from the container an exception will be thrown. In these cases please use the annotation {@link
     * RunAsClient} either
     * on the test method  or on the whole test class to be sure, that the test is running on the client side.
     * </p>
     * <p>
     * NOTE: You can still (re)deploy a deployment on a different container than the test is running in.
