| /** |
| * Common protocol for script elements that must be opened before they can be |
| * navigated or modified. Opening a textual element (such as a compilation unit) |
| * involves opening a buffer on its contents. While open, any changes to the |
| * buffer can be reflected in the element's structure; see {@link #isConsistent} |
| * and {@link #makeConsistent(IProgressMonitor)}. |
| * <p> |
| * To reduce complexity in clients, elements are automatically opened by the |
| * script model as element properties are accessed. The script model maintains |
| * an LRU cache of open elements, and automatically closes elements as they are |
| * swapped out of the cache to make room for other elements. Elements with |
| * unsaved changes are never removed from the cache, and thus, if the client |
| * maintains many open elements with unsaved changes, the LRU cache can grow in |
| * size (in this case the cache is not bounded). However, as elements are saved, |
| * the cache will shrink back to its original bounded size. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * To open an element, all openable parent elements must be open. The script |
| * model automatically opens parent elements, as it automatically opens |
| * elements. Opening an element may provide access to direct children and other |
| * descendants, but does not automatically open any descendents which are |
| * themselves {@link IOpenable}. For example, opening a compilation unit |
| * provides access to all its constituent elements, but opening a package |
| * fragment does not open all compilation units in the package fragment. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients. |
