+ * This service appeared as a solution of the problem when [KotlinOutputPathsData] couldn't be deserialized after having been stored on disk
+ * as a part of [DataNode] graph. Though we don't need the service itself, for now its the only way to make things work.
+ *
+ * Deserialization takes place at [serialization.kt#createDataClassResolver] (located in [platform-api.jar]).
+ *
+ * Graph contains nodes belonging to both IDEA and its plugins. To deserialize a node IDEA tries to load its class using a chain of
+ * class-loaders: its own and those provided by actual set of plugins. The nuance is how to get plugins' ones. The approach is the
+ * following. There is an association between a node's payload and a service which is supposed to consume it, see [getTargetDataKey] and
+ * [DataNode.key]. Plugin services are guaranteed to be loaded by plugin class loader. No service - no plugin, node is just skipped.
