/**
 * An editable copy of a launch configuration. Attributes of a
 * launch configuration are modified by modifying the attributes
 * of a working copy, and then saving the working copy.
 * <p>
 * Since 3.3, working copies can be nested. For example a working copy B can
 * be created from the original launch configuration A. Then a nested working
 * copy C can be created from working copy B. When the <code>doSave()</code> method
 * is called on C, changes are written back to its parent working copy B without
 * effecting the original launch configuration A. When <code>doSave()</code> is called
 * on B, the changes are persisted back to the original A.
