Registering new Module

Modules are layer which transforms User land code to Ecotone's configuration.

In most of the cases they look for code that is annotated with given Attribute, to register Messaging Concepts. 
Registering new Module
Each Module need to implement AnnotationModule and be annotated with #[ModuleAnnotation].

create method:
Module is constructed from static create method.
In this method you may use of AnnotationFinder to fetch for all the classes that you're interested in.
canHandle method:
This tell Ecotone what extension objects should be delivered to prepare method.
Those objects are objects created by in user land code by Service Configuration.

getModuleExtensions method:
This returns extensions defined by Module. It can be list of default ones in case user has not defined any.

prepare method:
This registers Configuration for Ecotone, that can be executed on later stage.
Phases
To increase application speed, Ecotone works in two phases.
Preparation Phase:
In preparation Phase Ecotone runs prepare method on each of Modules. 
The Configuration that is registered as a result is cached and is reused between executions.
Execution Phase:
Execution phase works on preconfigured Configuration by executing given messaging flow.
