This package contains interfaces and classes for locating resources in a generic way.

The main interface defined in this package is Locator. A locator is a generic pointer to a resource. Concrete implementations of this interface support specific ways of obtaining a resource, e.g.

from a URL
form the file system
from the class path
from data kept in memory

By accessing resources through the Locator interface all these different variants can be handled transparently.
