     * A container entry allows to express indirect references to a set of libraries, projects and variable entries,

     * A classpath container entry can be resolved using <code>JavaCore.getResolvedClasspathContainer</code>,

     * extension point "org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathContainerInitializer".
     * </p>
     * <p>
     * A container path must be formed of at least one segment, where:
     * </p>
     * <ul>
     * <li> the first segment is a unique ID identifying the target container, there must be a container initializer registered

     * <li> the remaining segments will be passed onto the initializer, and can be used as additional
     *    hints during the initialization phase. </li>
     * </ul>
     * <p>
     * Example of an ClasspathContainerInitializer for a classpath container denoting a default JDK container:
     * </p>
     * <pre>
     * containerEntry = JavaCore.newContainerEntry(new Path("MyProvidedJDK/default"));
     *
     * &lt;extension

     * <p>
     * The access rules determine the set of accessible source and class files
     * in the container. If the list of access rules is empty, then all files
     * in this container are accessible.
     * See {@link IAccessRule} for a detailed description of access
     * rules. Note that if an entry defined by the container defines access rules,
     * then these access rules are combined with the given access rules.
     * The given access rules are considered first, then the entry's access rules are
     * considered.
     * </p>

     * If exported, dependent projects will concatenate the accessible files patterns of this entry with the
     * accessible files patterns of the projects, and they will concatenate the non accessible files patterns of this entry

     * <p>
     * A library entry is used to denote a prerequisite JAR or root folder containing binaries.
     * The target JAR can either be defined internally to the workspace (absolute path relative
     * to the workspace root), or externally to the workspace (absolute path in the file system).
     * The target root folder can also be defined internally to the workspace (absolute path relative
     * to the workspace root), or - since 3.4 - externally to the workspace (absolute path in the file system).
     * Since 3.5, the path to the library can also be relative to the project using ".." as the first segment. 
     * </p>
     * <p>
     * e.g. Here are some examples of binary path usage
     * </p>
     *   <ul>
     *   <li><code> "c:\jdk1.2.2\jre\lib\rt.jar" </code> - reference to an external JAR on Windows</li>
     *   <li><code> "/Project/someLib.jar" </code> - reference to an internal JAR on Windows or Linux</li>
     *   <li><code> "/Project/classes/" </code> - reference to an internal binary folder on Windows or Linux</li>
     *   <li><code> "/home/usr/classes" </code> - reference to an external binary folder on Linux</li>
     *   <li><code> "../../lib/someLib.jar" </code> - reference to an external JAR that is a sibling of the workspace on either platform</li>
     * </ul>
     * Note that on non-Windows platform, a path <code>"/some/lib.jar"</code> is ambiguous.
     * It can be a path to an external JAR (its file system path being <code>"/some/lib.jar"</code>)
     * or it can be a path to an internal JAR (<code>"some"</code> being a project in the workspace).
     * Such an ambiguity is solved when the classpath entry is used (e.g. in {@link IJavaProject#getPackageFragmentRoots()}).
     * If the resource <code>"lib.jar"</code> exists in project <code>"some"</code>, then it is considered an
     * internal JAR. Otherwise it is an external JAR.
     * <p>Also note that this operation does not attempt to validate or access the
     * resources at the given paths.
     * </p><p>
     * The access rules determine the set of accessible class files
     * in the library. If the list of access rules is empty then all files

     * <p>
     * The <code>isExported</code> flag indicates whether this entry is contributed to dependent
     * projects. If not exported, dependent projects will not see any of the classes from this entry.
     * If exported, dependent projects will concatenate the accessible files patterns of this entry with the
     * accessible files patterns of the projects, and they will concatenate the non accessible files patterns of this entry
     * with the non accessible files patterns of the project.

     * <p>
     * The inclusion patterns determines the initial set of source files that

     * set. When no inclusion patterns are specified, the initial file set
     * includes all relevant files in the resource tree rooted at the source
     * entry's path. On the other hand, specifying one or more inclusion
     * patterns means that all <b>and only</b> files matching at least one of
     * the specified patterns are to be included. If exclusion patterns are
     * specified, the initial set of files is then reduced by eliminating files
     * matched by at least one of the exclusion patterns. Inclusion and
     * exclusion patterns look like relative file paths with wildcards and are
     * interpreted relative to the source entry's path. File patterns are
     * case-sensitive can contain '**', '*' or '?' wildcards (see
     * {@link IClasspathEntry#getExclusionPatterns()} for the full description
     * of their syntax and semantics). The resulting set of files are included
     * in the corresponding package fragment root; all package fragments within
     * the root will have children of type <code>ICompilationUnit</code>.
     * </p>
     * <p>
     * For example, if the source folder path is
     * <code>/Project/src</code>, there are no inclusion filters, and the
     * exclusion pattern is
     * <code>com/xyz/tests/&#42;&#42;</code>, then source files
     * like <code>/Project/src/com/xyz/Foo.java</code>
     * and <code>/Project/src/com/xyz/utils/Bar.java</code> would be included,

     * and <code>/Project/src/com/xyz/tests/quick/T2.java</code> would be
     * excluded.
     * </p>
     * <p>
     * Additionally, a source entry can be associated with a specific output location.
     * By doing so, the Java builder will ensure that the generated ".class" files will
     * be issued inside this output location, as opposed to be generated into the
     * project default output location (when output location is <code>null</code>).
     * Note that multiple source entries may target the same output location.
