Description

It would appear that at one point the old Interface repository was merged into the main repo and also the autotest repo. Further, the autotest repo is now in the main repo and so we've ended up with a whole lot of duplicate .java files. Possibly, the Interface directory may now be redundant.

See attached for list of duplicates: dups-sorted.txt

Research direction

Start with the attached dups-sorted.txt list and inspect the duplicate files under autotest/Interface. Determine whether the Interface directory is redundant and identify which copies are authoritative. Done means the redundant Java files or directory are removed without losing needed sources, with the resulting repository structure checked for completeness.
