public abstract class BaseEntity<I>
extends java.lang.Object

This is the base class for any set of classes that self-insert themselves into a Factory upon instantiation The way it works that a user will need to create an Interface and an abstract class implementing this Interface. The abstract class should also extend this class. Also a Factory that will hold the instances of that Interface needs to be created. The factory should extend BaseEntityFactory. After that user may create any number of classes that extend the abstract class. Each of these concrete implementations will self-insert itself into its factory. See the javadoc for the com.mgnt.lifecycle.management package and source code in package com.mgnt.lifecycle.management.example for detailed explanation on how to use this class
