public abstract class QuerySpecification extends Object
Describes a Java search query. A query is described by giving a scope, a scope description, what kind of match to search for (reference, declarations, etc) and either a Java element or a string and what kind of element to search for (type, field, etc). What exactly it means to, for example, to search for "references to type foo" is up to query participants. For example, a participant might consider the "class" attribute of an extension in a plugin.xml file to be a reference to the class mentioned in the attribute.
This class is not intended to be instantiated or subclassed by clients.
