"This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients." [message #167847]

Hello.

In many Eclipse interfaces I found "This interface is not intended to be
implemented by clients.". My question: If class at all is supposed to
implement that interface, how can it (the interface) be of any use?

Because Eclipse itself will have an implementation of it (an internal
one) and it will return that implementation from some standard API call.
A client is someone other then Eclipse itself.

more precisely: a client is 'any other plugin'
JDT UI is a client for JDT CORE and may not implement interfaces that
are marked as 'not intended...' - even both plugins are parts of eclipse
itself.

the rules are the same for eveybody - no plugin is special, whether it
is or it is not part of the sdk itself.
