Interface Summary

ICommand	A builder command names a builder and supplies a table of name-value argument pairs.
IContainer	Interface for resources which may contain other resources (termed its members).
IFile	Files are leaf resources which contain data.
IFileModificationValidator	The file modification validator is a VCM-related hook for pre-checking operations that modify the contents of files.
IFileState	A previous state of a file stored in the workspace's local history.
IFolder	Folders may be leaf or non-leaf resources and may contain files and/or other folders.
IMarker	Markers are a general mechanism for associating notes and metadata with resources.
IMarkerDelta	A marker delta describes the change to a single marker.
IProject	A project is a type of resource which groups resources into buildable, reusable units.
IProjectDescription	A project description contains the metadata required to define a project.
IProjectNature	Interface for project nature runtime classes.
IProjectNatureDescriptor	A project nature descriptor contains information about a project nature obtained from the plug-in manifest (plugin.xml) file.
IResource	The workspace analog of file system files and directories.
IResourceChangeEvent	Resource change events describe changes to resources.
IResourceChangeListener	A resource change listener is notified of changes to resources in the workspace.
IResourceDelta	A resource delta represents changes in the state of a resource tree between two discrete points in time.
IResourceDeltaVisitor	An objects that visits resource deltas.
IResourceStatus	Represents status related to resources in the Resources plug-in and defines the relevant status code constants.
IResourceVisitor	This interface is implemented by objects that visit resource trees.
ISaveContext	A context for workspace save operations.
ISavedState	A data structure returned by addSaveParticipant containing a save number and an optional resource delta.
ISaveParticipant	A participant in the saving of the workspace.
IStorage	A storage object represents a set of bytes which can be accessed.
ISynchronizer	A synchronizer which maintains a list of registered partners and, on behalf of each partner, it keeps resource level synchonization information (a byte array).
IWorkspace	Workspaces are the basis for Eclipse Platform resource management.
IWorkspaceDescription	A workspace description represents the workspace preferences.
IWorkspaceRoot	A root resource represents the top of the resource hierarchy in a workspace.
IWorkspaceRunnable	A runnable which executes as a batch operation within the workspace.

Class Summary

IncrementalProjectBuilder	The abstract base class for all incremental project builders.
ResourcesPlugin	The plug-in runtime class for the Resources plug-in.
WorkspaceLock	A lock used to control write access to the resources in a workspace.

Package Specification

This package specifies the entire API for the Resources plug-in. The resources plug-in defines the notions of Workspaces and Resources. The workspace's resource model is very similar to a file system. All resources are backed by a real file or directory in the native file system. They are stored in their native form (i.e., no extra bytes or markup) using their normal names.

In addition to basic resource management, the Resources plug-in supports various workspace lifecycle events such as save and snapshot, and resource change events.
