RmicAdapter (Apache Ant API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.rmic, interface: RmicAdapter

# Interface RmicAdapter

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `DefaultRmicAdapter, ForkingSunRmic, KaffeRmic, SunRmic, WLRmic, XNewRmic`

public interface RmicAdapter
The interface that all rmic adapters must adhere to.

A rmic adapter is an adapter that interprets the rmic's parameters in preparation 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).

Since:
  Ant 1.4
