org.eclipse.core.runtime.QualifiedName

public final class QualifiedName
extends java.lang.Object

Qualified names are two-part names: qualifier and local name. The qualifier must be in URI form (see RFC2396). Note however that the qualifier may be null if the default name space is being used. The empty string is not a valid local name.

This class can be used without OSGi running.

This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.
