/**
 * The StartLevel service allows management agents to manage a start level
 * assigned to each bundle and the active start level of the Framework.
 * There is at most one StartLevel service present in the OSGi environment.
 *
 * <p>
 * A start level is defined to be a state of execution in which the Framework
 * exists.  StartLevel values are defined as unsigned integers with 0 (zero)
 * being the state where the Framework is not launched.
 * Progressively higher integral values represent
 * progressively higher start levels. e.g. 2 is a higher start level than 1.
 * <p>
 * Access to the StartLevel service is protected by
 * corresponding
 * <tt>ServicePermission</tt>. In addition the <tt>AdminPermission</tt>
 * that is required to actually modify start level information.
 * <p>
 * Start Level support in the Framework includes the ability to
 * control the beginning start level of the Framework, to modify the active
 * start level of the Framework and to assign a specific start level to a bundle.
 * How the beginning start level of a
 * Framework is specified is implementation dependent. It may be a command line
 * argument when invoking the Framework implementation.
 * <p>
 * When the Framework is first started it must be at start level zero.
 * In this state, no bundles are running. This is the initial state of the
 * Framework before it is launched.
 *
 * When the Framework is launched, the Framework will enter start level one
 * and all bundles which are assigned to start level one and are
 * persistently marked to be started are started as described in the
 * <tt>Bundle.start</tt> method.
 * Within a start level, bundles are started in ascending order by <tt>Bundle.getBundleId</tt>.
 * The Framework will continue to increase
 * the start level, starting bundles at each start level, until the Framework has
 * reached a beginning start level. At this point the Framework has completed
 * starting bundles and will then
 * broadcast a Framework event of type <tt>FrameworkEvent.STARTED</tt>
 * to announce it has completed its launch.
 *
 * <p>
 * The StartLevel service can be used by management bundles to alter the active start level
 * of the framework.
