 * A representation of the model object '<em><b>Lifecycle Callback</b></em>'.

 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * 
 * 
 * 	The lifecycle-callback type specifies a method on a
 * 	class to be called when a lifecycle event occurs.
 * 	Note that each class may have only one lifecycle callback
 *         method for any given event and that the method may not
 * 	be overloaded.
 * 
 *         If the lifefycle-callback-class element is missing then
 *         the class defining the callback is assumed to be the
 *         component class in scope at the place in the descriptor
 *         in which the callback definition appears.
 *
