public abstract class LoadTypes
extends java.lang.Object

This class contains an enumeration of constants that define different types of modules that can be loaded by a certain engine, for example dynamic link libraries (.dll) or special engine executables (.lib). This class needs to be subclassed to define the necessary constants for a certain engine.

It implements the typesave enum pattern (Joshua Bloch, "Effective Java", Item 21). If you compare LoadTypes, always use the == operator.
