/**
* Common protocol for Java elements that support working copies.
*
* A working copy of a Java element acts just like a regular element (handle),
* except it is not attached to an underlying resource. A working copy is not
* visible to the rest of the Java model. Changes in a working copy's
* buffer are not realized in a resource. To bring the Java model up-to-date with a working
* copy's contents, an explicit commit must be performed on the working copy.
* Other operations performed on a working copy update the
* contents of the working copy's buffer but do not commit the contents
* of the working copy.
*
*
* Note: The contents of a working copy is determined when a working
* copy is created, based on the current content of the element the working
* copy is created from. If a working copy is an IOpenable
and is explicitly
* closed, the working copy's buffer will be thrown away. However, clients should not
* explicitly open and close working copies.
*
*
* The client that creates a working copy is responsible for
* destroying the working copy. The Java model will never automatically
* destroy or close a working copy. (Note that destroying a working copy
* does not commit it to the model, it only frees up the memory occupied by
* the element). After a working copy is destroyed, the working copy cannot
* be accessed again. Non-handle methods will throw a
* JavaModelException
indicating the Java element does not exist.
*
*
* A working copy cannot be created from another working copy.
* Calling getWorkingCopy
on a working copy returns the receiver.
*
*
* @deprecated Use {@link ICompilationUnit} instead
* @noimplement This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
