This pretty simple plugin allows one to extract an interface with common methods of the given source file set.

Has been useful to the author in the context of middlegen generated entity beans which had a similar interface and had to be queried in a transparent manner. (This was then made possible by simply telling middlegen to declare those beans as implementing the generated interface)

There are no tags for this plugin, as it will try to extract a common interface from all sources it is given.

Maybe a possible improvement would to had a tag to tag classes and group them, should one have multiple interfaces to extract from multiple classes and would be willing to do that in one pass.
