Adaptors are designed to be added to Build Forge projects and run
without modification. To modify an adaptor or create a new adaptor,
you need to understand the XML template structure and elements used
in the Build Forge adaptor templates.
Note: This section does not describe the external application commands
used in the Build Forge adaptor templates. For information about these
commands, consult the documentation for the external application.
Adaptor templates installed with the Build Forge product are located

running Microsoft Windows operating systems
bfinstall/Platform/interface for
computers running UNIX or Linux operating systems
