 /**

  * This annotation is used to indicate that the element is registrable, that is, it can only be accessed by end-users

  * that own a valid license. It can provide a default license name and thus will be automatically registered to that

  * name.

  * 

  * If the annotation is not used the application will be freely accessible, bound to the default "DIF

  * auto-registration". If the annotation is used with a default registry name it will be unregistrable but associated to

  * this name. If the annotation is used without a default registry name, it will be unregistered and thus inaccessible.

  * 

  * <p>

  * 

  * It can be used on any element annotated with one of the following:

  * <ul>

  * <li><code>@ProviderDefinition </code></li>

  *                     <li><code>@ApplicationDefinition </code></li>

  *                        <li><code>@ServiceDefinition </code></li>

  *                    </ul>
