This project is meant to simplyfy the usage of the excelent Configuration Admin and MetaType services for Felix OSGi. The bundle will create a service that allows other bundles to register an annotated interface. The ManagedProperties service will then create all the Metatype information, as well as ensuring that objects are cast to their right types. ManagedProperties also has a feature called Filters. A Filter is used to create an object, say a File, directly from a primitive Configuration Admin type. It can also contain logic, to allow the configuration to fail if, for example, a File doesn't exist.

This module was created to fix issue DIRSHARED-91 where the embedded Felix instance inside the default LdapCodecService implementation was making it very problematic to deploy the ldap-codec inside an RCP (OSGi) environment and hence Apache Directory Studio could not use it. This module is most likely temporary and will disappear once we are fully OSGi enabled. This module is a plain old jar, not a bundle to avoid accidental reuse as an OSGi module because it contains the version of the LdapCodecService that embeds Felix to make controls and extended ops pluggable in the codec.

Start with a population of many significants and diverses subset stops when the result is higher than a given treshold or there's not more improvement.
