/**
 * Denotes a resource that is managed by a CDI extension (as opposed to container-managed).
 * <p/>
 * <p>
 * The meaning of this annotation is dependent on the resource that is managed.
 * For actual usage refer to the documentation of the extension that provides
 * the managed resource.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * In general, this annotation is applied to Producer methods/fields to signify
 * that an extension is using the produced object to create some kind of
 * managed resource.
