 * The interface to java-python translator. A translator helps to translate java

 * <code>tudelft.utilities.j2p.t.full.class.path</code>. See also
 * {@link #fetch(Object)}
 * <p>
 * Third party libraries should also put their packages in this same
 * <code>tudelft.utilities.j2p.t.XXX</code> package. For instance a translator
 * for "com.mycompany" could provide a jar with classes in
 * <code>tudelft.utilities.j2p.t.com.mycompany</code>.

 *                   code.
