	/**
	 * Returns flags which describe in more detail how a resource has been affected.

	 * The following codes (bit masks) are used when kind is <code>CHANGED</code>, and

	 * or being moved.</li>
	 * <li><code>DESCRIPTION</code> - The description of the project has been altered,
	 * 		or <code>IResource.touch</code> has been called on the project.
	 * 		This flag is only valid for project resources.</li>
	 * <li><code>OPEN</code> - The project's open/closed state has changed.
	 * 		If it is not open, it was closed, and vice versa.  This flag is only valid for project resources.</li>
	 * <li><code>TYPE</code> - The resource (a folder or file) has changed its type.</li>
	 * <li><code>SYNC</code> - The resource's sync status has changed.</li>
	 * <li><code>MARKERS</code> - The resource's markers have changed.</li>
	 * <li><code>REPLACED</code> - The resource (and all its properties)
	 *  was deleted (either by a delete or move), and was subsequently re-created
	 *  (either by a create, move, or copy).</li>
	 *  <li><code>LOCAL_CHANGED</code> - The resource is a linked resource,
	 *  and the underlying file system object has been added or removed.</li>
	 * </ul>
	 * The following code is only used if kind is <code>REMOVED</code>
	 * (or <code>CHANGED</code> in conjunction with <code>REPLACED</code>):
	 * <ul>
	 * <li><code>MOVED_TO</code> - The resource has moved.
	 * 	<code>getMovedToPath</code> will return the path of where it was moved to.</li>
	 * </ul>
	 * The following code is only used if kind is <code>ADDED</code>
	 * (or <code>CHANGED</code> in conjunction with <code>REPLACED</code>):
	 * <ul>
	 * <li><code>MOVED_FROM</code> - The resource has moved.
	 * 	<code>getMovedFromPath</code> will return the path of where it was moved from.</li>
	 * </ul>
	 * A simple move operation would result in the following delta information.
	 * If a resource is moved from A to B (with no other changes to A or B), 
	 * then A will have kind <code>REMOVED</code>, with flag <code>MOVED_TO</code>, 
	 * and <code>getMovedToPath</code> on A will return the path for B.  
	 * B will have kind <code>ADDED</code>, with flag <code>MOVED_FROM</code>, 
	 * and <code>getMovedFromPath</code> on B will return the path for A.
	 * B's other flags will describe any other changes to the resource, as compared
	 * to its previous location at A.
	 * </p>
	 * <p>
	 * Note that the move flags only describe the changes to a single resource; they
	 * don't necessarily imply anything about the parent or children of the resource.  
	 * If the children were moved as a consequence of a subtree move operation, 
	 * they will have corresponding move flags as well.
	 * </p>
	 * <p>
	 * Note that it is possible for a file resource to be replaced in the workspace
	 * by a folder resource (or the other way around).
