	 * This method is used by ValidationOperation to calculate the non-environment specific names of
	 * the files. Only the IWorkbenchContext implementation knows how much information to strip off
	 * of the IResource name. For example, if there is an EJB Project named "MyEJBProject", and it
	 * uses the default names for the source and output folders, "source" and "ejbModule",
	 * respectively, then the current implementation of EJB Helper knows how much of that structure
	 * is eclipse-specific.
	 * 
	 * Since the "source" folder contains Java source files, a portable name would be the
	 * fully-qualified name of the Java class, without the eclipse-specific project and folder names
	 * in front of the file name. The EJBHelper knows that everything up to the "source" folder, for
	 * example, can be removed, because, according to the definition of the EJB Project, everything
	 * contained in the source folder is java source code. So if there is an IResource in an EJB
	 * Project named "/MyEJBProject/source/com/ibm/myclasses/MyJavaFile.java", this method would
	 * make this name portable by stripping off the "/MyEJBProject/source", and returning
	 * "com/ibm/myclasses/MyJavaFile.java".
	 * 
	 * The output of this method is used by the ValidationOperation, when it is calculating the list
	 * of added/changed/deleted file names for incremental validation. If getPortableName(IResource)
	 * returns null, that means that the IWorkbenchContext's implementation does not support that
