I think this should be renamed FileAdapterI, except i dont know how the integrated adpaters are going to pan out - ie birn - we'll see

Method Summary

void	commit(CharacterListI charList)
void	commit(CharacterListI charList, java.io.File f)
java.lang.String	getDescription()
java.util.List<java.lang.String>	getExtensions()
boolean	hasExtension(java.lang.String ext)
void	load()
CharacterListI	load(java.io.File f)
void	setAdapterValue(java.lang.String adapterValue) Set value to use for loading or writeback, for a file adapter this would be the file name - is there a better name for this method? For now just doing String - which may be sufficient - may need an AdapterValue/DataInput object if this gets more involved - but that may not be necasary - certianly string ok for now
