| The ComponentCore Virtual Path API allows clients to navigate |
| logical collections of files within Eclipse projects using API |
| similar to the Eclipse IResource API. |

| <h2>Virtual Path API</h2> |
| <BR /> |
| <p> |
| The Virtual Path API provides a facade to the flexible project model. |
| Each IVirtualResource represents a resource from the runtime component |
| under a virtual runtime path. Each IVirtualResource may represent one |
| or more Eclipse Platfrom resources located at the same runtime path. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Each IVirtualResource is contained by exactly one IVirtualComponent. |
| However, the underlying resources that are represented by the |
| IVirtualResource may be contained by multiple IVirtualComponents. |
| IVirtualComponents are contained by IFlexibleProjects. Each |
| IFlexibleProject may contain one or more IVirtualComponents. |
