ELKIServiceLoader (ELKI: Environment for DeveLoping KDD-Applications Supported by Index-Structures)

java.lang.Object
- elki.utilities.ELKIServiceLoader

```
public class ELKIServiceLoader
extends java.lang.Object
```
Class that emulates the behavior of an java ServiceLoader, except that the classes are not automatically instantiated. This is more lazy, but also we need to do the instantiations our way with the parameterizable API.

Since:

0.5.0
