/**
 * Class that is extended to define an optional preloader for a
 * JavaFX Application.
 * An application may contain a preloader that is used
 * to improve the application loading experience.
 *
 * <p>
 * A preloader is a small application that is started
 * before the main application to customize the startup experience.
 * The preloader:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>gets notification of progress of loading application resources</li>
 * <li>gets notification of errors</li>
 * <li>gets notification of application initialization and startup</li>
 * <li>decides when application should become visible</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * The default preloader is shown on top of the application Stage, which is not
 * visible until the preloader is visible. The preloader need to hide itself
 * to make the application visible. Good practice is to do this no earlier than
 * right before application.start() is called, as otherwise application itself
 * is not visible.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * The preloader may also cooperate with the application to achieve advanced
 * visual effects or share data (e.g. to implement login screen).
 * The preloader gets a reference to the application and may pull data it
 * needs for cooperation from the application if the application implements
 * an interface that the preloader knows about and relies upon. Generally it
 * is not recommended to design preloaders in such a way that an application
 * would call them directly, as this will result in bad user experience if
 * the application is signed and the preloader is not.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * If the application does not specify a preloader, then the default preloader
 * is used. Default preloader appearance can be customized
 * (set of parameters is TBD).
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Custom preloader implementations should follow these rules:
 * </p>
 * <ol>
 *  <li>a custom preloader class should extend Preloader</li>
 *  <li>classes needed for preloader need to be packaged in the separate jar.</li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>
 * Applications may also send custom notification to the preloader using the
 * {@link #notifyPreloader notifyPreloader} method. This way a preloader may
 * also show application initialization progress.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Note that preloaders are subject to the same rules as other JavaFX
 * applications including FX threading rules. In particular, the class
 * constructor and init() method will be called on a non-FX thread and start()
 * will be executed on the FX application thread.
 * This also means that the application constructor/init() will run concurrently
 * with preloader start().
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Callbacks on preloader notification will be delivered on the FX
 * application thread.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Shutdown (including when stop() is called) is TBD.
 * </p>
 * @since JavaFX 2.0
