Class Resource

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.discovery.Resource

Direct Known Subclasses:

ResourceClass

public class Resource
extends Object

'Resource' located by discovery. Naming of methods becomes a real pain ('getClass()') so I've patterned this after ClassLoader... I think it works well as it will give users a point-of-reference.
