ScriptInterpreter

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable
```
public interface ScriptInterpreter
extends java.io.Closeable
```
Defines a simple abstraction used to plug-in several script interpreters for the pre-/post-build-hooks. Each interpreter implementation should be stateless and support reuse.
