00004  *
00005  * <p>This package contains base classes for add-ons' adapters.</p>
00006  *
00007  * <p>An add-on may be a data source loader (for mysql, postgresql, oracle,...), or an output writer (for GraphViz...).</p>
00008  *
00009  * <p>Add-ons contain a list of pre-defined adaptors.<p>
00010  * <ul>
00011  *    <li>All data source loaders contain the same set of add-ons.</li>
00012  *    <li>All output writers contain the same set of add-ons.</li>
00013  * </ul>
00014  *
00015  * @remark Output writers are divided into groups. Currently, there is only one defined group:
00016  *         Output writers that produce representations of relations between tables.
00017  *         But it is possible to create new groups.
00018  *         For example, we could create a new type of output writers that produce representations on joins (between fields).
