Type Parameters:

T - the tool specific filter

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArtifactIncludeFilterTransformer, EclipseAetherFilterTransformer, SonatypeAetherFilterTransformer
```
public interface FilterTransformer<T>
```
Provide a mechanism to transform a Filter to a tool specific equivalent using the visitor pattern. For example: Aether has its own set of filters.
