Interface ResourceBundleControlProvider

```
public interface ResourceBundleControlProvider
```
An interface for service providers that provide implementations of ResourceBundle.Control. The default resource bundle loading behavior of the ResourceBundle.getBundle factory methods that take no ResourceBundle.Control instance can be modified with ResourceBundleControlProvider implementations.
Provider implementations must be packaged using the Java Extension Mechanism as installed extensions. Refer to ServiceLoader for the extension packaging. Any installed ResourceBundleControlProvider implementations are loaded using ServiceLoader at the ResourceBundle class loading time.

1.8
