7    * Reference implementation of the EventType. The AbstractEventType is the description of a topic used for the subscription to
8    * asynchronous events. Event types are used by EventProducers to show which events they potentially fire. EventTypes are
9    * typically defined as static final fields. In order to prevent name clashes for the EventType, the full name of the class from
10   * which the EventType was defined (usually in the <clinit>) is added to the equals() and hashCode() methods of the
11   * EventType. In that way, EventTypes that are the same will be unique, but EventTypes with just the same name but defined in
12   * different classes will be different. This is the abstract class that can be tailored to any event type. Subclasses that
13   * extend the AbstractEventType are the EventType for regular events, and TimedEventType for timed events.<br>
14   * <br>
15   * Note: the reason why this is important is because <b>remote events</b> that use EventTypes can have <i>multiple versions</i>
16   * of the same public static final EventType: one the is defined in the client, and one that is defined via the network. These
17   * will have <i>different addresses in memory</i> but they share the same class and name info, so equals() will yield true.
