Resource.adapters attribute

Question

The IDM documentation states you must add your new custom resource to the waveset.properties file in $WSHOME/config. It states it must be placed under the resource.adapters entry or it will not be recognized.
However, when I look through the Waveset.properties file, the only mention of "resource.adapters" is in a comment area for ResourceManagerVersion:
# ResourceManagerVersion
# Specifies the version of the Resource Manager to be used. The
# Resource Manager controls the list of available resources.
# Additional resources are specified in the resource.adapters
# attribute above.
However, there is NO resource.adapters attribute in this file. Is there a sample of how this attribute needs to be formatted and the syntax one should use?

Here's the context diff of the changes I made to AIXResourceAdapter:
