@API(status=STABLE,
     since="5.0")
public interface Extension

Marker interface for all extensions.

An Extension can be registered declaratively via @ExtendWith, programmatically via @RegisterExtension, or automatically via the ServiceLoader mechanism. For details on the latter, consult the User Guide.

Constructor Requirements

Extension implementations must have a default constructor if registered via @ExtendWith or the ServiceLoader. When registered via @ExtendWith the default constructor is not required to be public. When registered via the ServiceLoader the default constructor must be public. When registered via @RegisterExtension the extension's constructors typically must be public unless the extension provides static factory methods or a builder API as an alternative to constructors.
