Package org.eclipse.handly.model

Interface IElementHandleFactory

public interface IElementHandleFactory
Provides a generic way to create IElement handles. An instance of IElementHandleFactory for a model can usually be obtained via the model's context by context.get(IElementHandleFactory.class).

Note that, despite having a dependency on IResource, this interface can safely be used even when org.eclipse.core.resources bundle is not available. This is based on the "outward impression" of late resolution of symbolic references a JVM must provide according to the JVMS.
