/**
 * A path from one {@link TransitionableState state} to another {@link State state}.
 * <p>
 * When executed a transition takes a flow execution from its current state, called the <i>source state</i>, to another
 * state, called the <i>target state</i>. A transition may become eligible for execution on the occurrence of an
 * {@link Event} from within a transitionable source state.
 * <p>
 * When an event occurs within this transition's source <code>TransitionableState</code> the determination of the
 * eligibility of this transition is made by a <code>TransitionCriteria</code> object called the <i>matching
 * criteria</i>. If the matching criteria returns <code>true</code> this transition is marked eligible for execution for
 * that event.
 * <p>
 * Determination as to whether an eligible transition should be allowed to execute is made by a
 * <code>TransitionCriteria</code> object called the <i>execution criteria</i>. If the execution criteria test fails
 * this transition will <i>roll back</i> and reenter its source state. If the execution criteria test succeeds this
 * transition will execute and take the flow to the transition's target state.
 * <p>
 * The target state of this transition is typically specified at configuration time in a static manner. If the target
 * state of this transition needs to be calculated in a dynamic fashion at runtime configure a
 * {@link TargetStateResolver} that supports such calculations.
