/**
 * Attaching this annotation to a {@link TransformAction} type it indicates that the build cache should be used for artifact transforms of this type.
 *
 * <p>Only an artifact transform that produces reproducible and relocatable outputs should be marked with {@code CacheableTransform}.</p>
 *
 * <p>
 *     Normalization must be specified for each file parameter of a cacheable transform.
 *     For example:
 * </p>
 * <pre class='autoTested'>
 * import org.gradle.api.artifacts.transform.TransformParameters;
 *
 * {@literal @}CacheableTransform
 * public abstract class MyTransform implements TransformAction&lt;TransformParameters.None&gt; {
