	 * Filter bundle collisions hook method. This method is called during the
	 * install or update operation. The operation type will be
	 * {@link #INSTALLING installing} or {@link #UPDATING updating}. Depending
	 * on the operation type the target bundle and the collision candidate
	 * collection are the following:
	 * <ul>
	 * <li> {@link #INSTALLING installing} - The target is the bundle associated
	 * with the {@link BundleContext} used to call one of the
	 * {@link BundleContext#installBundle(String) install} methods. The
	 * collision candidate collection contains the existing bundles installed
	 * which have the same symbolic name and version as the bundle being
	 * installed.
	 * <li> {@link #UPDATING updating} - The target is the bundle used to call
	 * one of the {@link Bundle#update() update} methods. The collision
	 * candidate collection contains the existing bundles installed which have
	 * the same symbolic name and version as the content the target bundle is
	 * being updated to.
	 * </ul>
	 * This method can filter the collection of collision candidates by removing
	 * potential collisions. For the specified operation to succeed, the
	 * collection of collision candidates must be empty after all registered
	 * collision hook services have been called.
	 * 
	 * @param operationType The operation type. Must be the value of
	 *        {@link #INSTALLING installing} or {@link #UPDATING updating}.
	 * @param target The target bundle used to determine what collision
	 *        candidates to filter.
	 * @param collisionCandidates The collection of collision candidates. The
	 *        collection supports all the optional {@code Collection} operations
	 *        except {@code add} and {@code addAll}. Attempting to add to the
	 *        collection will result in an {@code UnsupportedOperationException}
	 *        . The collection is not synchronized.
