All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Server
A generic server, something that can be started or stopped and, finally, disposed. A platform managed server is instantiated via a public constructor receiving a String[] with command-line arguments - intended for handcrafted servers - or (less priority) a public non-arg constructor - intended for generated servers.
