| <H2>Virtual Folders</H2> |
| <p> |
| Virtual folders are folders that do not exist in the file system. |
| They are shown to the user with a unique folder icon.</p> |
| <p> |
| The method <b>IResource.isLinked</b> returns true for virtual folders, and |
| <b>IResource.getLocation</b>/<b>IResource.getLocationURI</b> always returns null.</p> |
| <p> |
| Virtual folders can be created by passing the <b>IResource.VIRTUAL</b> flag to the <b>IResource.create</b> method.</p> |
| <p> |
| By design, virtual folders can only have linked resources or other virtual folders as children. |
