Remarks

ContainsWorkspace is useful when browsing the file system for workspaces. It takes a parent directory and the list of file names in the directory to be examined. It returns true if the parent directory represents a workspace covered by this factory or if the parent directory contains a workspace or a connection file to a workspace covered by this factory.
