Inline adoc files when they are included exactly once. Also fix language tags because this inlining gives us better information on what language the code is written in.

== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
The purpose of an abstract class is to provide some heritable behaviors while also defining methods which must be implemented by sub-classes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A ``++class++`` with no abstract methods that was made ``++abstract++`` purely to prevent instantiation should be converted to a concrete ``++class++`` (i.e. remove the ``++abstract++`` keyword) with a ``++protected++`` constructor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A ``++class++`` with only ``++abstract++`` methods and no inheritable behavior should be converted to an ``++interface++``.

|
|
|
public abstract class Color //Noncompliant; should be concrete with a protected constructor
