    `getCollection` in class `BaseResourceCollectionWrapper`
  Returns:
    a Collection of Resources.

### add

    public void add(ResourceComparator c)

  Add a ResourceComparator to this Sort ResourceCollection. If multiple ResourceComparators are added, they will be processed in LIFO order.

  Parameters:

### dieOnCircularReference

    protected void dieOnCircularReference(java.util.Stack stk,
                                          Project p)
                                   throws BuildException

  Overrides the BaseResourceCollectionContainer version to recurse on nested ResourceComparators.

  Overrides:
    `dieOnCircularReference` in class `BaseResourceCollectionWrapper`
  Parameters:
    `stk` - the stack of data types to use (recursively).
    `p` - the project to use to dereference the references.
  Throws:
