Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
```
@FunctionalInterface
public interface ReferenceTypeResolver
```
Used to resolve the root EClass for the next path segment from an EReference for a certain type of DMR segment.
Example: The reference type of a map referenced by a mapping segment is Map$Entry<EClass, ? extends EObject>. However, the root EClass for the next path segment must be the second type parameter of Map$Entry.

- Method Detail
  - resolveNextEClass
```
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass resolveNextEClass(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EReference reference,
                                               VDomainModelReferenceSegment segment)
```
    Resolves the root EClass for the next reference path segment. Returns null if no valid type can be resolved.
    
    Parameters:
    
    reference - The EReference to resolve the EClass from
    
    segment - The segment that contains the EReference. For some segment types (e.g. mapping segments) this allows to return a more precise EClass. May be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    the resolved EClass or null if no valid type can be resolved
