Type Parameters:

ReferenceType - the type of the reference this mapping points to.

IJavaElementMapping<ReferenceType>, IJavaURIMapping

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractBaseJavaReferenceMapping, JavaElementMapping, JavaURIMapping
```
public interface IJavaReferenceMapping<ReferenceType>
```
A mapping from an identifier to something else. The "something else" is defined by subclasses of this interface. Implementors of such subclasses are used during the process of resolving references where identifiers need to be mapped to other objects. This interface must not be implemented by clients.
