| An EntityResolver, broadly speaking, resolves identifiers into packages, classes,
| fields and variables. A resolver can be specific to a context; for instance a
| resolver inside a package normally sees classes in that package without requiring
| qualification.

public interface EntityResolver
{       



| Resolve a package or class. If a class with the given name exists in the resolver's scope,
| it is returned; otherwise a package is returned.
|
| @param name  The package or class name. This must be an unqualified name.
| @param querySource  The source of the query (a fully qualified class name,
|            as would be returned by Class.getName()).
|
public PackageOrClass resolvePackageOrClass(String name, Reflective querySource);
    
   
   


| Resolve a class from its fully-qualified name. The supplied name should
| be the same as would be returned by Class.getName() for the required type.
|
public TypeEntity resolveQualifiedClass(String name);
    
   
   


| Resolve a value. If a local variable or field with the given name exists in the resolver's
| scope (or if there is a static import of that name), it is returned; otherwise the effect is as if resolvePackageOrClass was called.
|
| <p>To resolve the final value entity, call resolveAsValue() on the returned entity.
|
| @param name The name of the entity to access
| @param querySource The source of the query (a fully qualified class name,
|            as would be returned by Class.getName()).
