- public abstract class ContentStamp
- extends java.lang.Object
A content stamp object represent the content of an IFile.
A content stamp object is updated whenever the content of a file
changes. In contrast to a modification stamp a content stamp is reverted
to its previous value if the content of the file is reverted back by
performing a corresponding undo change.
Clients of the refactoring framework don't need to take care of content
stamps. They are managed by the framework itself.
Not all files in the workspace are annotated with a content stamp. The
refactoring framework only adds content stamp to those files where necessary.
Content stamp are to be compared using the equals(Object) method.
It is not guaranteed that content stamp are identical for identical files.
This class is not intended to be extended by clients.
