/**
 * ApplicationInfo is an abstract base class for API implementations,
 * which allows getting application related static information.
 * <p>
 * The class provides a static getter method for getting an instance of
 * the running application. In those runtimes that are always running only
 * one instance (like MIDP) returns always the same instance of the
 * ApplicationInfo. However those runtimes (like eRCP), that may run several
 * application in the same JVM instance, will return an application specific
 * instance.
 * <p>
 * The runtime implementation hides the solving of the correct application
 * when method <code>getInstace</code> is called. However it must be noted
 * that if the call is made some common thread, the <code>getInstace</code>
 * might not able to solve the correct application.
 * <p>
 * Example how to get the name of the application:
 * <pre>
 * package com.nokia.mj.impl.mypackage;
 *
 * import com.nokia.mj.impl.rt.support;
 *      public void myClass()
 *      {
 *          public void myMethod()
 *          {
 *              //Get the name of the application.
 *              String appName = ApplicationInfo.getInstance().getName();
 *
 *              //my implementation...
 *          }
 *      }
 *</pre>
 * <p>
 * Example how to reuse the application object:
 * <pre>
 * package com.nokia.mj.impl.mypackage;
 *
 * import com.nokia.mj.impl.rt.support;
 *      public void myClass2()
 *      {
 *          public void myMethod()
 *          {
 *              //Get the insatnce of ApplicationInfo.
 *              ApplicationInfo appInfo = ApplicationInfo.getInstance();
 *
 *              //Get the name of the application.
 *              String appName = appInfo.getName();
 *
 *              //Get the vendor of the application.
 *              String appVendor = appInfo.getVendor();
 *
 *              //my implementation...
 *          }
 *      }
 *</pre>
