* Abstract base implementation of all classpath container initializer.
* Loadpath variable containers are used in conjunction with the
* "org.rubypeople.rdt.core.classpathContainerInitializer" extension point.
* <p>
* Clients should subclass this class to implement a specific classpath
* container initializer. The subclass must have a public 0-argument
* constructor and a concrete implementation of <code>initialize</code>.
* <p>
* Multiple classpath containers can be registered, each of them declares
* the container ID they can handle, so as to narrow the set of containers they
* can resolve, in other words, a container initializer is guaranteed to only be
* activated to resolve containers which match the ID they registered onto.
* <p>
* In case multiple container initializers collide on the same container ID, the first
* registered one will be invoked.

/**
* Binds a classpath container to a <code>IClasspathContainer</code> for a given project,
* or silently fails if unable to do so.
* <p>
* A container is identified by a container path, which must be formed of two segments.
* The first segment is used as a unique identifier (which this initializer did register onto), and
* the second segment can be used as an additional hint when performing the resolution.
* <p>
* The initializer is invoked if a container path needs to be resolved for a given project, and no
* value for it was recorded so far. The implementation of the initializer would typically set the
* corresponding container using <code>JavaCore#setClasspathContainer</code>.
* <p>
* A container initialization can be indirectly performed while attempting to resolve a project
* classpath using <code>IJavaProject#getResolvedClasspath(</code>; or directly when using
* <code>JavaCore#getClasspathContainer</code>. During the initialization process, any attempt
* to further obtain the same container will simply return <code>null</code> so as to avoid an
* infinite regression of initializations.
* <p>
* A container initialization may also occur indirectly when setting a project classpath, as the operation
* needs to resolve the classpath for validation purpose. While the operation is in progress, a referenced
* container initializer may be invoked. If the initializer further tries to access the referring project classpath,
* it will not see the new assigned classpath until the operation has completed. Note that once the Java
* change notification occurs (at the end of the operation), the model has been updated, and the project
* classpath can be queried normally.
* <p>
* This method is called by the Java model to give the party that defined
* this particular kind of classpath container the chance to install
* classpath container objects that will be used to convert classpath
* container entries into simpler classpath entries. The method is typically
* called exactly once for a given Java project and classpath container
* entry. This method must not be called by other clients.
* <p>
* There are a wide variety of conditions under which this method may be
* invoked. To ensure that the implementation does not interfere with
* correct functioning of the Java model, the implementation should use
* only the following Java model APIs:
* <ul>
* <li>{@link JavaCore#setClasspathContainer(IPath, IJavaProject[], IClasspathContainer[], org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor)}</li>
* <li>{@link JavaCore#getClasspathContainer(IPath, IJavaProject)}</li>
* <li>{@link JavaCore#create(org.eclipse.core.resources.IWorkspaceRoot)}</li>
* <li>{@link JavaCore#create(org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject)}</li>
* <li>{@link IJavaModel#getJavaProjects()}</li>
* <li>Java element operations marked as "handle-only"</li>
* </ul>
* The effects of using other Java model APIs are unspecified.
* </p>

* to be resolved
