/**
 * Package object instance interface.
 * Class representing a Java package. Java packages are structured into a 
 * tree hierarchy. E.g. for package org.netbeans.modules.java five packages 
 * exist in the metadata. They are the org.netbeans.modules.java package, 
 * then its parent (org.netbeans.modules), parent of its parent (org.netbeans), 
 * down to the default package, which is the root parent of all packages.
 * Packages cannot be created explicitly, neither they can be explicitly m
 * odified. All the updates to the list of packages are done automatically b
 * ased on the changes of packageName attribute of the Resources.
 *  
 * 
Note: This type should not be subclassed or implemented by 
 * clients. It is generated from a MOF metamodel and automatically implemented 
 * by MDR (see mdr.netbeans.org)
