All Superinterfaces:

IFile, IResource

All Known Implementing Classes:

FileFragmentImpl
```
public interface IFileFragment
extends IFile
```
A fragment of a file that is to be treated separate from the enclosing file. Facilitates inlining structured content in a Java source file as opposed to using a separate resource file.
