```
public interface TimelineEventProvider
```
A TimelineEntryProvider provides TimelineEvents to a Timeline. Implementations must register themselves as an OSGi-component and declare itself as a service on this interface. This way the timeline aggregator service is able to dynamically use available providers to generate timline events for a given Resource. A provider may decide (see accepts(org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource)) whether to provide events or not for a given resource. Events are provided via getEvents(org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource).

`boolean`	`accepts(Resource resource)`	Indicates to the timeline aggregator whether this provider accepts the given `resource` or not.
`java.util.Collection<TimelineEvent>`	`getEvents(Resource resource)`	If `accepts(org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource)` returns `true` for a given resource, this method is called with the same resource parameter in order for the provider to return a `Collection` of `TimelineEvent`s for the given resource.
`TimelineEventType`	`getType()`	Returns the `TimelineEventType` this provider provides.
