/**
* Represents a deployment that is already present in the process repository.
*
* A deployment is a container for resources such as process definitions, images, forms, etc.
*
* When a deployment is 'deployed' through the {@link org.activiti.engine.RuntimeService},
* the Activiti engine will recognize certain of such resource types and act upon
* them (eg process definitions will be parsed to an executable Java artifact).
*
* To create a Deployment, use the {@link org.activiti.engine.repository.DeploymentBuilder}.
* A Deployment on itself is a <b>read-only</b> object and its content cannot be
* changed after deployment (hence the builder that needs to be used).
