	 * COMPILER / Setting Compliance Level
	 *    Select the compliance level for the compiler. In "1.3" mode, source and target settings

	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance"

	 *     - default:           "1.4"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Setting Source Compatibility Mode
	 *    Specify whether which source level compatibility is used. From 1.4 on, 'assert' is a keyword
	 *    reserved for assertion support. Also note, than when toggling to 1.4 mode, the target VM
	 *   level should be set to "1.4" and the compliance mode should be "1.4".
	 *   Source level 1.5 is necessary to enable generics, autoboxing, covariance, annotations, enumerations
	 *   enhanced for loop, static imports and varargs. Once toggled, the target VM level should be set to "1.5"
	 *   and the compliance mode should be "1.5".
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.source"
	 *     - possible values:   { "1.3", "1.4", "1.5" }
	 *     - default:           "1.3"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Defining Target Java Platform
	 *    For binary compatibility reason, .class files can be tagged to with certain VM versions and later.
	 *    Note that "1.4" target require to toggle compliance mode to "1.4" too. Similarily, "1.5" target require
	 *    to toggle compliance mode to "1.5".
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.targetPlatform"
	 *     - possible values:   { "1.1", "1.2", "1.3", "1.4", "1.5" }
	 *     - default:           "1.2"
	 *
	 * COMPILER / Generating Local Variable Debug Attribute
 	 *    When generated, this attribute will enable local variable names 
	 *    to be displayed in debugger, only in place where variables are 
	 *    definitely assigned (.class file is then bigger)
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.debug.localVariable"
	 *     - possible values:   { "generate", "do not generate" }
	 *     - default:           "generate"
	 *
	 * COMPILER / Generating Line Number Debug Attribute 
	 *    When generated, this attribute will enable source code highlighting in debugger 
	 *    (.class file is then bigger).
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.debug.lineNumber"
	 *     - possible values:   { "generate", "do not generate" }
	 *     - default:           "generate"
	 *    
	 * COMPILER / Generating Source Debug Attribute 
	 *    When generated, this attribute will enable the debugger to present the 
	 *    corresponding source code.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.debug.sourceFile"
	 *     - possible values:   { "generate", "do not generate" }
	 *     - default:           "generate"
	 *    
	 * COMPILER / Preserving Unused Local Variables
	 *    Unless requested to preserve unused local variables (that is, never read), the 
	 *    compiler will optimize them out, potentially altering debugging
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.unusedLocal"
	 *     - possible values:   { "preserve", "optimize out" }
	 *     - default:           "preserve"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Inline JSR Bytecode Instruction
	 *    When enabled, the compiler will no longer generate JSR instructions, but rather inline corresponding
	 *   subroutine code sequences (mostly corresponding to try finally blocks). The generated code will thus
	 *   get bigger, but will load faster on virtual machines since the verification process is then much simpler. 
	 *  This mode is anticipating support for the Java Specification Request 202.
	 *  Note that JSR inlining is optional only for target platform lesser than 1.5. From 1.5 on, the JSR
	 *  inlining is mandatory (also see related setting "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.targetPlatform").

	 *     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
	 *     - default:           "disabled"
	 * 
	 * COMPILER / Javadoc Comment Support
	 *    When this support is disabled, the compiler will ignore all javadoc problems options settings
	 *    and will not report any javadoc problem. It will also not find any reference in javadoc comment and
	 *    DOM AST Javadoc node will be only a flat text instead of having structured tag elements.

	 *     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
	 *     - default:           "enabled"
	 *
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Attempt to Override Package-Default Method
	 *    A package default method is not visible in a different package, and thus 
	 *    cannot be overridden. When enabling this option, the compiler will signal 
	 *    such scenarii either as an error or a warning.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.overridingPackageDefaultMethod"
	 *     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
	 *     - default:           "warning"
	 *
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Method With Constructor Name
	 *    Naming a method with a constructor name is generally considered poor 
	 *    style programming. When enabling this option, the compiler will signal such 
	 *    scenarii either as an error or a warning.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.methodWithConstructorName"
	 *     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
	 *     - default:           "warning"
	 *
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Deprecation
	 *    When enabled, the compiler will signal use of deprecated API either as an 
	 *    error or a warning.
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.deprecation"
	 *     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
	 *     - default:           "warning"
	 *
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Deprecation Inside Deprecated Code
	 *    When enabled, the compiler will signal use of deprecated API inside deprecated code.
	 *    The severity of the problem is controlled with option "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.deprecation".

	 *    The severity of the problem is controlled with option "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.deprecation".
	 *     - option id:        "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.deprecationWhenOverridingDeprecatedMethod"
	 *     - possible values:   { "enabled", "disabled" }
	 *     - default:           "disabled"
	 *
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Hidden Catch Block
	 *    Locally to a try statement, some catch blocks may hide others . For example,
	 *      try {  throw new java.io.CharConversionException();
	 *      } catch (java.io.CharConversionException e) {
	 *      } catch (java.io.IOException e) {}. 
	 *    When enabling this option, the compiler will issue an error or a warning for hidden 
	 *    catch blocks corresponding to checked exceptions
	 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.hiddenCatchBlock"
	 *     - possible values:   { "error", "warning", "ignore" }
	 *     - default:           "warning"
	 *
	 * COMPILER / Reporting Unused Local

	 * A container entry allows to express indirect references to a set of libraries, projects and variable entries,

	 *       id="MyProvidedJDK"
	 *       class="com.example.MyInitializer"/&gt;

	 * <p>
	 * The access rules determine the set of accessible source and class files
	 * in the container. If the list of access rules is empty, then all files
	 * in this container are accessible.
	 * See {@link IAccessRule} for a detailed description of access
	 * rules. Note that if an entry defined by the container defines access rules,

	 * workspace-relative path using the given inclusion and exclusion patterns
	 * to determine which source files are included, and the given output path
	 * to control the output location of generated files.
	 * <p>
	 * The source folder is referred to using an absolute path relative to the
	 * workspace root, e.g. <code>/Project/src</code>. A project's source 
	 * folders are located with that project. That is, a source classpath
	 * entry specifying the path <code>/P1/src</code> is only usable for
	 * project <code>P1</code>.
	 * </p>
	 * <p>
	 * The inclusion patterns determines the initial set of source files that
	 * are to be included; the exclusion patterns are then used to reduce this
	 * set. When no inclusion patterns are specified, the initial file set
	 * includes all relevent files in the resource tree rooted at the source
	 * entry's path. On the other hand, specifying one or more inclusion
	 * patterns means that all <b>and only</b> files matching at least one of
	 * the specified patterns are to be included. If exclusion patterns are 
	 * specified, the initial set of files is then reduced by eliminating files
	 * matched by at least one of the exclusion patterns. Inclusion and
	 * exclusion patterns look like relative file paths with wildcards and are
	 * interpreted relative to the source entry's path. File patterns are 
	 * case-sensitive can contain '**', '*' or '?' wildcards (see
	 * {@link IClasspathEntry#getExclusionPatterns()} for the full description
	 * of their syntax and semantics). The resulting set of files are included
	 * in the corresponding package fragment root; all package fragments within
	 * the root will have children of type <code>ICompilationUnit</code>.
	 * </p>
	 * <p>
	 * For example, if the source folder path is 
	 * <code>/Project/src</code>, there are no inclusion filters, and the
	 * exclusion pattern is 
	 * <code>com/xyz/tests/&#42;&#42;</code>, then source files
	 * like <code>/Project/src/com/xyz/Foo.java</code>
	 * and <code>/Project/src/com/xyz/utils/Bar.java</code> would be included,
	 * whereas <code>/Project/src/com/xyz/tests/T1.java</code>
	 * and <code>/Project/src/com/xyz/tests/quick/T2.java</code> would be
	 * excluded. 
	 * </p>
	 * <p>
	 * Additionally, a source entry can be associated with a specific output location. 
	 * By doing so, the Java builder will ensure that the generated ".class" files will 
	 * be issued inside this output location, as opposed to be generated into the 
	 * project default output location (when output location is <code>null</code>). 
	 * Note that multiple source entries may target the same output location.
	 * The output location is referred to using an absolute path relative to the

	 * <p>
	 * <code>containerPath</code> is the path under which these values can be referenced through
	 * container classpath entries (<code>IClasspathEntry#CPE_CONTAINER</code>). A container path

	 * This functionality cannot be used while the workspace is locked, since
	 * it may create/remove some resource markers.
	 * <p>
	 * Classpath container values are persisted locally to the workspace, but
