org.apache.maven.api.toolchain.InputSource
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public final class InputSource extends Object implements Serializable
Represents the source of a model input, such as a POM file.

This class tracks the origin of model elements, providing location information used primarily for error reporting and debugging to help identify where specific model elements came from. The location typically represents a file path, URL, or other identifier that describes the source of the input.

InputSource instances are immutable and can be safely shared across threads. The class provides factory methods for convenient creation of instances.
