Package org.eclipse.handly.model
An IModel serves as the common owner
of any number of IElements.
IElements are exposed to clients as handles to the
actual underlying element. The model may hand out any number of
handles for each element. Handles are value objects; handles that refer to
the same element are guaranteed to be equal, but not necessarily identical.
An IElementDelta describes
changes to an IElement between two discrete points in time.
IModel, IElement, and IElementDelta
are just marker interfaces. Use static methods in classes Models, Elements, and ElementDeltas
for generic access to IModels, IElements, and
IElementDeltas.
This package also provides marker interfaces for code-centric elements
such as ISourceFile and
ISourceConstruct. Those
can also be manipulated via static methods in Elements.
Finally, there are IXXXExtension interfaces (e.g., IElementExtension), which
model implementors may opt to extend. The extension interfaces extend
the corresponding marker interfaces and introduce a number of generally
useful default methods, effectively acting like mix-ins.
