public interface SingletonService<PT extends SingletonPlugin>
extends PTService<PT>

A service for managing SingletonPlugins of a particular type. The SingletonService creates and maintain a list of singleton instances.

Note that like PTService, TypedService and WrapperService, SingletonService is not a service interface defining API for a specific concrete service implementation, but rather a more general layer in a type hierarchy intended to ease creation of services that fit its pattern.
