Effectively, factories give full control over the create executable extension process.
The factories are responsible for handling the case where the concrete instance implement IExecutableExtension.
Given that factories are instantiated as executable extensions, they must provide a 0-argument public constructor.
Like any other executable extension, they can configured by implementing IExecutableExtension interface.
This interface can be used without OSGi running.
IConfigurationElementObject create() throws CoreException
CoreException - if an instance of the executable extension
could not be created for any reason
