/**
* Contains implementations for various Directory Server utility classes and
* methods which may be used throughout the server but do not necessarily fit in
* elsewhere. Notable utility classes include:
* <BR>
* <UL>
* <LI>
* StaticUtils.java -- a set of static methods that may be called to perform
* all kinds of useful operations on data (e.g., get a stack trace from an
* exception, or convert the contents of a byte array to a readable form).
* </LI>
* <LI>
* Base64.java -- provides a mechanism for performing base64 encoding and
* decoding.
* </LI>
* <LI>
* DynamicConstants.java -- a set of constants that are actually generated
* automatically at build time and reflect information about the time and
* conditions under which the server was built.
* </LI>
* <LI>
* TimeThread.java -- provides a thread that will periodically retrieve
* the current time and format it in several common methods in an attempt to
* minimize the need to have multiple calls to
* <CODE>System.currentTimeMillis()</CODE> or <CODE>new Date()</CODE>
* whenever the time is needed. This thread updates internal variables
* several times each second, which should be sufficient for cases in which
* high-resolution timing is not required.
* </LI>
* </UL>
