/**
 * Transport manager for Jingle.
 *
 * This class makes easier the use of transport resolvers by presenting a simple
 * interface for algorithm selection. The transport manager also keeps the match
 * between the resolution method and the <transport> element present in
 * Jingle packets.
 *
 * As Jingle have many transport methods (official and unofficial methods),
 * this abstract class helps us to extends the transport support of the API.
 *
 * This class must be used with a JingleManager instance in the following way:
 *
 * JingleManager jingleManager = new JingleManager(xmppConnection, new BasicTransportManager());
