/**
 * Deprecated utilities for JavaScript components loaded by the JS component
 * loader.
 *
 * Import into a JS component using
 * 'Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/ComponentUtils.jsm");'
 *
 * Exposing a JS 'class' as a component using these utility methods consists
 * of several steps:
 * 0. Import ComponentUtils, as described above.
 * 1. Declare the 'class' (or multiple classes) implementing the component(s):
 *  function MyComponent() {
 *    // constructor
 *  }
 *  MyComponent.prototype = {
 *    // properties required for XPCOM registration:
 *    classID:          Components.ID("{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}"),
 *
 *    // [optional] custom factory (an object implementing nsIFactory). If not
 *    // provided, the default factory is used, which returns
 *    // |(new MyComponent()).QueryInterface(iid)| in its createInstance().
 *    _xpcom_factory: { ... },
 *
 *    // QueryInterface implementation, e.g. using the generateQI helper
 *    QueryInterface: ChromeUtils.generateQI(
 *      [Components.interfaces.nsIObserver,
 *       Components.interfaces.nsIMyInterface,
 *       "nsIFoo",
 *       "nsIBar" ]),
 *
 *    // The following properties were used prior to Mozilla 2, but are no
 *    // longer supported. They may still be included for compatibility with
 *    // prior versions of ComponentUtils. In Mozilla 2, this information is
 *    // included in the .manifest file which registers this JS component.
 *    classDescription: "unique text description",
 *    contractID:       "@example.com/xxx;1",
 *
 *    // ...component implementation...
 *  };
 *
 * 2. Create an array of component constructors (like the one
 * created in step 1):
 *  var components = [MyComponent];
 *
 * 3. Define the NSGetFactory entry point:
 *  this.NSGetFactory = ComponentUtils.generateNSGetFactory(components);
