/**
 * @author Sven Efftinge - initial contribution and API
 * 
 * Mwe supports delegating the creation of objects to {@link IFactory}.
 * Just declare an instance of this interface instead of the concrete class.
 * Not that your implementation needs to have a default constructor.
 * 
 * Any setter or adder methods declared on the factory implementations will be called before
 * the MWE engine calls {@link #create()}. The rest of the assignments will be set on the created Object.
 *
