All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, HelpCtx.Provider
```
@Deprecated
public abstract class ServiceType
extends Object
implements Serializable, HelpCtx.Provider
```
Deprecated.
The prefered way to register and lookup services is now Lookup as described in services registration and lookup page.

This class represents an abstract subclass for services (compilation, execution, debugging, etc.) that can be registered in the system.

  - displayName
```
protected String displayName()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Default human-presentable name of the service type. In the default implementation, taken from the bean descriptor.
    
    Returns:
    
    initial value of the human-presentable name
    
    See Also:
    
    FeatureDescriptor.getDisplayName()
  - createClone
```
@Deprecated
public final ServiceType createClone()
```
    Deprecated.
    Service instance files should instead be copied in order to clone them.
    
    Method that creates a cloned instance of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to implement the Cloneable interface, in such case the clone method is called as a result of calling this method. If the subclass does not implement Cloneable, it is serialized and deserialized, thus new instance created.
    
    Returns:
    
    new instance
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if something goes wrong, but should not happen
  - clone
```
@Deprecated
protected Object clone()
                throws CloneNotSupportedException
```
    Deprecated.
    Service instance files should instead be copied in order to clone them.
    
    Correctly implements the clone operation on this object. In order to work really correctly, the subclass has to implement the Cloneable interface.
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a new cloned instance that does not have any listeners
    
    Throws:
    
    CloneNotSupportedException
  - setName
```
public void setName(String name)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Set the name of the service type. Usually it suffices to override displayName(), or just to provide a BeanDescriptor for the class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the new human-presentable name
  - getName
```
public String getName()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Get the name of the service type. The default value is given by displayName().
    
    Returns:
    
    a human-presentable name for the service type
  - getHelpCtx
```
public abstract HelpCtx getHelpCtx()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Get context help for this service type.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getHelpCtx in interface HelpCtx.Provider
    
    Returns:
    
    context help
  - addPropertyChangeListener
```
public final void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener l)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Add a property change listener.
    
    Parameters:
    
    l - the listener to add
  - removePropertyChangeListener
```
public final void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener l)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Remove a property change listener.
    
    Parameters:
    
    l - the listener to remove
  - firePropertyChange
```
protected final void firePropertyChange(String name,
                                        Object o,
                                        Object n)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Fire information about change of a property in the service type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - name of the property
    
    o - old value
    
    n - new value
