## Interface ResourceChangeNotifier

-     public interface ResourceChangeNotifier

  ResourceChangeListeners can subscribe to the notifier to receive ChangeSet info when results they are subscribed to change. The ResourceChangeNotifier itself is not monitoring resources for changes, instead it delegates to added ResourceChangeMonitor implementations. When a ResourceChangeListener subscribes to a Resource that subscription is delegated to the added monitors.

  This interface, as well as ChangeSet, ResourceChangeMonitor, esourceChangeListener and ResourceChangeScanner are still considered subject to change. Use the XML format change-set, as part of the ResourceType api when adding to KnowledgeBuilder, which is considered stable. KnowledgeBuilder currently ignored Added/Modified xml elements, the KnowledgeAgent will use them, when rebuilding the KnowledgeBase.
