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