org.codehaus.commons.compiler.util.resource

public Interface Resource

Known Direct Subinterfaces: org.codehaus.commons.compiler.util.resource.LocatableResource
Known Direct Implementers: org.codehaus.commons.compiler.util.resource.StringResource
Imports: java.io.IOException, .InputStream

A sequence of bytes that is identified by a "name", is typically found by a org.codehaus.commons.compiler.util.resource.ResourceFinder, can be open()ed for reading, and optionally has a lastModified() property.

There also exists a org.codehaus.commons.compiler.util.resource.ResourceCreator concept which opens a resource for writing, but that happens directly and not through an intermediate Resource object.
