Description

The feature module defines ArtifactProvider and FeatureProvider - two simple interfaces to provide artifacts for the feature processing.
The feature IO module defines ArtifactManager - a general pluggable mechanism to find artifacts in configured locations. Usually applications use an ArtifactManager and then need to implement ArtifactProvider and FeatureProvider based on this manager. To avoid this, ArtifactManager should direct implement/provide these, reducing the additional code to be written by each application
