/**
 * Attach this annotation to an abstract getter that should receive the <em>input artifact</em> for an artifact transform.
 * This is the artifact that the transform is applied to.
 *
 * <p>The abstract getter must be declared as type {@link Provider}&lt;{@link org.gradle.api.file.FileSystemLocation}&gt;.</p>
 *
 * <p>Example usage:</p>
 *
 * <pre class='autoTested'>
 * import org.gradle.api.artifacts.transform.TransformParameters;
 *
 * public abstract class MyTransform implements TransformAction&lt;TransformParameters.None&gt; {
 *
 *     {@literal @}InputArtifact
 *     public abstract Provider&lt;FileSystemLocation&gt; getInputArtifact();
 *     {@literal @}Override
 *     public void transform(TransformOutputs outputs) {
 *         File input = getInputArtifact().get().getAsFile();
 *         // Do something with the input
 *     }
