We've completed a quick survey of the resource API and explored how the resources and the workspace relate to the file system.
The examples in org.eclipse.examples.core.resources demonstrate further use of the resource API.
It is best to look at resources in the context of a workbench plug-in. In the next few chapters, we will look at a sample plug-in, the readme tool, which manipulates resources and integrates with the workbench.
More information on resources can be found in Resource and workspace API.
