All Known Implementing Classes:

JavaTimeBridgeProvider

public interface BridgeProvider

Service interface to allow custom bridges to be auto discovered. Implementations of this interface must have a default constructor and a file named META-INF/services/org.hibernate.search.bridge.spi.BridgeProvider should contain the fully qualified class name of the bridge provider implementation. When several implementations are present in a given JAR, place one class name per line. This follows the JDK service loader pattern.
