contains

boolean contains(Object containmentContext,
 Object element,
 int flags)

Returns whether the given element is considered contained in the specified containment context or if it is the context itself.

Parameters:

containmentContext - object that provides containment context for the element. This is typically a container object (e.g., IFolder) and may be the element object itself.

element - object that should be tested for containment

flags - one or more of CHECK_CONTEXT, CHECK_IF_CHILD, CHECK_IF_ANCESTOR, CHECK_IF_DESCENDENT logically ORed together.
