 * This class has been implemented to be able to instantiate a very basic component

 *
 * Caution !
 * The class Component has been created non instantiable on purpose !
 * This class SHOULD not replace a real Component inherited class handing data.
 * It is a helper class for those who need to use Interface node and/or Interface frame only.
 *
 * This is why this class should be final (no inheritance allowed) if it was writen in Java,
 * has no representation
 * (neither Slice nor Geometry) and reimplements addProperty
 *  to prevent from adding property (if you need a property, this means that you handle data,
 *  this means that you need a proper component).
