[Java] Interface EntityDriver

public interface EntityDriver

The EntityDriver provides an abstraction between the Entity and the environment (the Location it is running in, so that an entity is not tightly coupled to a specific Location. E.g. you could have a TomcatEntity that uses a TomcatDriver (an interface) and you could have different driver implementations like the TomcatSshDriver/TomcatWindowsDriver and if in the future support for Puppet needs to be added, a TomcatPuppetDriver could be added.
