All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`String[]`	`getTypesForFile(IFile file)`	Returns ALL type names associated with the given file whether or not the types have been loaded yet.
`boolean`	`handlesFile(IFile file)`
`boolean`	`handlesFileExtension(String fileExtension)`

- Method Detail
  - isFileBacked
```
default boolean isFileBacked()
```
    Are the types produced from this type manifold backed by project files such as resource files?
  - handlesFileExtension
```
boolean handlesFileExtension(String fileExtension)
```
    Returns:
    
    True if this type manifold handles files having the given fileExtension
  - handlesFile
```
boolean handlesFile(IFile file)
```
    Returns:
    
    True if the type manifold handles the given file
  - getTypesForFile
```
String[] getTypesForFile(IFile file)
```
    Returns ALL type names associated with the given file whether or not the types have been loaded yet. Type loading should NOT be used in the implementation of this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    file - The file in question
    
    Returns:
    
    All known types derived from that file
  - refreshedFile
```
RefreshKind refreshedFile(IFile file,
                          String[] types,
                          RefreshKind kind)
```
    Notifies that a file has been refreshed. The implementor should return all types that it knows need to be refreshed based on the given file.
    
    Parameters:
    
    file - The file that was refreshed
    
    kind -
    
    Returns:
    
    All known types affected by the file change
