15  * This type of model is created by parsing the manifest file.
16  * If the file is a workspace resource, it will be
17  * available as the underlying resource of the model.
18  * The model may be read-only or editable.
19  * It will also make a reference to the build properties
20  * model when created. The reference will be of the
21  * same type as the model itself: if the model is
22  * editable, it will attempt to obtain an exclusive
23  * editable copy of build.properties model.
24  * <p>
25  * The fragment model can be disabled. Disabling the
26  * model will not change its data. Users of the
27  * model will have to decide if the disabled state
28  * if of any importance to them or not.
29  * <p>
30  * The model is capable of notifying listeners
31  * about changes. An attempt to change a read-only
32  * model will result in a CoreException.
