Re: [jdt-core-dev] isReadOnly

Yes, there is a semantic difference. An IJavaElement is read-only if its structure cannot be modified by the java model. 
For example, .jar files are read-only as the java model doesn't know how to add/remove elements in this file, but the underlying 
IFile can be writable.
 
I updated the javadoc to clarify this point.

Salut,

is there a semantic diff between
IJavaElement::isReadOnly and
IJavaElement::getCorrespondingResource::isReadOnly ?

should i always check both?
if a difference does exist - could that be doc'ed?

thanks
a.
