public class Triggers

extends java.lang.Object

This class represents the main container of the triggers. In each updates it checks whether there's a trigger to be executed.
After executing it can be removed if it's not periodical or with other words its next time is not in the future.
(It might have some mechanism to load triggers on the fly, because due performance considerations there can be some tricky triggers, which load other triggers.)
