26   * exist in the metadata. They are the org.netbeans.modules.java package,
27   * then its parent (org.netbeans.modules), parent of its parent (org.netbeans),
28   * down to the default package, which is the root parent of all packages.
29   * Packages cannot be created explicitly, neither they can be explicitly m
30   * odified. All the updates to the list of packages are done automatically b
31   * ased on the changes of packageName attribute of the Resources.

34   * by clients. It is generated from a MOF metamodel and automatically implemented 
35   * by MDR (see <a HREF="http://mdr.netbeans.org/">mdr.netbeans.org</a>).</em></p>
