 * The interface that all rmic adapters must adhere to.
 *
 * <p>A rmic adapter is an adapter that interprets the rmic's
 * parameters in preperation to be passed off to the compiler this
 * adapter represents.  As all the necessary values are stored in the
 * Rmic task itself, the only thing all adapters need is the rmic
 * task, the execute command and a parameterless constructor (for
 * reflection).</p>
