/**
\mainpage The KDE Resource library
The KDE Resource framework can be used to manage resources of
different types, organized in families. The Resource framework
is for example used for addressbook resources in libkabc and for
calendar resources in libkcal.
When you want to use the framework for a new family, you need to
<ul><li>Define a name for your resource family</li>
<li>subclass Resource and add the fields and method that are needed
in your application</li>
<li>If needed, override the doOpen() and doClose() methods.
<li>In your application, you can use ResourceManager to keep track
of the resources in your family, and you can use ResourceSelectDialog
to let the user select a single resource.</li>
</ul>
When you want to add a new resource type to an existing resource family,
you need to
<ul><li>Further subclass the family-specific Resource to implement
resource type-specific operation</li>
<li>Subclass ResourceConfigWidget to provide a configuration widget
for your new resource type</li>
<li>Provide a .desktop file so that the new resource type can be found
automatically by the ResourceManager</li>
</ul>

/**
This class provides a resource which is managed in a general way.
A Resource represents the concept of an object with the following attributes:
- Applications operate on sets of one or more Resource objects.
- Creation and deletetion of Resource objects is done in a general way,
independent of concrete functionality of the Resource.
- The end user has control over creation, deletion and configuration of
Resource object.
- Properties, behaviour and configuration of different Resource objects can
widely differ.
- Resources can be active or inactive.
- There is one special Resource which is the standard Resource. This can for
example be used as default destination for newly created object managed
by a certain Resource family.
- Activation of Resources can be covered by a two step process of being opened
and then loaded. Deactivation corresponds to saving and closing.
- Different application ususally share the same set of Resources.
The Resource base class provides the management functionality. Classes
inheriting from Resource automatically appear in the general tderesources
kcontrol module.
Concrete functionality of Resources is specified per family by a subclass of
Resource. This classes in turn have subclasses which implement the different
flavours of the functionality represented by the family.
A subclass should reimplement at least the constructor and the
writeConfig method.
An example for a Resource subclass hierarchy would be the "calendar" family.
The ResourceCalendar subclass would specify an API for accessing calendar
data. Subclasses of ResourceCalendar would implement this API for local files,
remote files, specific calendar servers etc.
