Interface IWorkingCopyManager

public interface IWorkingCopyManager

Interface for accessing working copies of ICompilationUnit objects. The original compilation unit is only given indirectly by means of an IEditorInput. The life cycle is as follows:

• connect creates and remembers a working copy of the compilation unit which is encoded in the given editor input
• getWorkingCopy returns the working copy remembered on connect
• disconnect destroys the working copy remembered on connect

This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
