All Implemented Interfaces:

ComponentLifeCycle

Direct Known Subclasses:

HarvestJobManager
```
public class LifeCycleComponent
extends Object
implements ComponentLifeCycle
```
Takes care of the lifecycling of subcomponents(children).
When extending this class you must:
1. Add all lifecycle subcomponents with the addChild, before the start method is called.
2. Call the super.start() operation to start the children.
3. Call the super.shutdown operation to
