/**
 * A source lookup participant participates in source lookup by searching an ordered
 * list of source containers for source elements corresponding to a debug artifact.
 * For example, a participant may be asked to find source corresponding to a stack
 * frame or breakpoint. An implementation of a source lookup participant is debug
 * model specific, since it must convert the debug model artifact (stack frame,
 * breakpoint, etc.),  into a source name that can be recognized by a source container
 * (<code>ISourceContainer</code>), to search for source elements. Source containers
 * are generally debug model independent, whereas source lookup participants are
 * debug model specific.
 * <p>
 * Clients may implement this interface. An abstract implementation is
 * provided by <code>AbstractSourceLookupParticipant</code>, which clients
 * should subclass.
