 * must be reversible, and should be restored to their original values in the {@code restore()} method.</p>
 * <p>EnvironmentFacets are required since the JDK tools (XJC, SchemaGen, JXC) expect certain configuration
 * or setup to be present during their execution. For improved usability within the JAXB2-Maven-Plugin, we
 * would like to supply all configuration to the plugin, and delegate the setting of various system-, thread-,
 * logging- or environment properties to explicit EnvironmentFacet implementations.</p>
