ModelSource2 (Maven Model Builder 3.9.7-SNAPSHOT API)

All Superinterfaces:

ModelSource, Source

All Known Implementing Classes:

FileModelSource
```
public interface ModelSource2
extends ModelSource
```
Provides access to the contents of a POM independently of the backing store (e.g. file system, database, memory).
Unlike ModelSource, this interface supports loading of parent POM(s) from the same backing store and allows construction of MavenProject instances without the need to have parent POM(s) available from local or remote repositories.
ModelSource2 instances are cached in ModelBuildingRequest.getModelCache(). Implementations must guarantee that the connection to the backing store remains active until request's ModelCache is discarded or flushed.
