Start (OFBiz R18.12 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.ofbiz.base.start.Start

```
public final class Start
extends java.lang.Object
```
OFBiz startup class.
This class implements a thread-safe state machine. The design is critical for reliable starting and stopping of the server.

The machine's current state and state changes must be encapsulated in this class. Client code may query the current state, but it may not change it.

This class uses a singleton pattern to guarantee that only one server instance is running in the VM. Client code retrieves the instance by using the getInstance() static method.
