The adapters extension point allows plug-ins to declaratively register adapter factories. This information is used to by the
runtime XML expression language to determine existence of adapters without causing plug-ins to be loaded.
Registration of adapter factories via extension point eliminates the need to manually register adapter factories when a plug-in starts up.
The fully qualified name of a class (typically implementing IAdaptable) that this factory provides adapters for.
The fully qualified name of the adapter factory class. Must implement <tt>org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdapterFactory</tt>.
The fully qualified name of a Java class or interface that this factory can adapt to.

Following is an example of an adapter declaration. This example declares that this plug-in will provide an adapter factory that will adapt objects of type IFile to objects of type MyFile.
<p>
<pre>
<extension point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.adapters">
<factory
class="com.xyz.MyFileAdapterFactory"
adaptableType="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile">
<adapter type="com.xyz.MyFile"/>
</factory>
</extension>
</pre>
</p>
Adapter factories registered using this extension point can be queried using the method
<code>IAdapterManager.hasAdapter</code>, or retrieved using one of the <tt>getAdapter</tt> methods on <tt>IAdapterFactory</tt>.
An adapter factory registered with this extension point does not need to be registered at runtime using <tt>IAdapterFactory.registerAdapters</tt>.
Several plug-ins in the platform provide adapters for a number of different IAdaptable objects.
