public interface FindHook {
	/**
	 * Find hook method. This method is called for the following:
	 * <ul>
	 * <li>Bundle find operations using {@link BundleContext#getBundle(long)}
	 * and {@link BundleContext#getBundles()} methods. The find method can
	 * filter the result of the find operation. Note that a find operation using
	 * the {@link BundleContext#getBundle(String)} method does not cause the
	 * find method to be called.</li>
	 * <li>Bundle install operations when an existing bundle is already
	 * installed at a given location. In this case, the find method is called to
	 * determine if the context performing the install operation is able to find
	 * the bundle. If the context cannot find the existing bundle then the
	 * install operation must fail with a
	 * {@link BundleException#REJECTED_BY_HOOK} exception.</li>
	 * </ul>
	 * 
	 * @param context The bundle context of the bundle performing the find
	 *        operation.
	 * @param bundles A collection of Bundles to be returned as a result of the
	 *        find operation. The implementation of this method may remove
	 *        bundles from the collection to prevent the bundles from being
	 *        returned to the bundle performing the find operation. 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.
