24 * Represents an entire binary type (single <code>.class</code> file).
25 * A class file has a single child of type <code>IType</code>.
26 * Class file elements need to be opened before they can be navigated.
27 * If a class file cannot be parsed, its structure remains unknown. Use
28 * <code>IJavaElement.isStructureKnown</code> to determine whether this is the
31 * Note: <code>IClassFile</code> extends <code>ISourceReference</code>.
32 * Source can be obtained for a class file if and only if source has been attached to this
33 * class file. The source associated with a class file is the source code of
34 * the compilation unit it was (nominally) generated from.
37 * This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

50 * When switching to working copy mode, problems are reported to the given
51 * {@link IProblemRequestor}. Note that once in working copy mode, the given
52 * {@link IProblemRequestor} is ignored. Only the original {@link IProblemRequestor}

56 * Once in working copy mode, changes to this working copy or its children are done in memory.
57 * Only the new buffer is affected.
60 * Using {@link ICompilationUnit#commitWorkingCopy(boolean, IProgressMonitor)} on the working copy
61 * will throw a <code>JavaModelException</code> as a class file is implicetly read-only.

71 * in working copy mode (<code>classFileWorkingCopy.getPrimary().exists() == false</code>).
74 * The resource of a class file's working copy is <code>null</code> if the class file is in an external jar file.
77 * @param problemRequestor a requestor which will get notified of problems detected during
78 * reconciling as they are discovered. The requestor can be set to <code>null</code> indicating
