 * Summary: An extended native importer interface supporting imports from
 * Eclipse Resources.
 * 
 * Description: This interface, as of the initial version, is a proposal. As the
 * native importer functionality only works if Viatra2 is being run within
 * Eclipse, it seems logical to provide a way for passing IResources to native
 * importers, since all files/java code snippets/EMF models exist as IResource
 * instances within the workspace.
