public class Architecture
extends Component
A C2 architecture is a network of components hooked together by connectors. Components and connectors may be added to an architecture, removed from it, welded together, and detached from each other.

Hierarchical architectures are supported by allowing an entire architecture to act as a single component in a new, bigger architecture.

NOTE: This class should not be used directly. Use either SimpleArchitecture or one of its derived classes.
