/**
 * A generic "state change" event gets delivered whenever a model changes to
 * such extent that it cannot be delineated all aspects of it that have changed.
 * Any listener can synchronize with the model as necessary since the model is
 * available as the event's 'source'.
 * A <code>StateChangeEvent</code> is sent as an argument to the
 * {@link org.eclipse.jpt.utility.model.listener.StateChangeListener}.
 * <p>
 * Provisional API: This class is part of an interim API that is still
 * under development and expected to change significantly before reaching
 * stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from
 * pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API
 * will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
