[ecf-dev] RSA console commands

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I've completed an initial cut of adding gogo console commands to control 
ECF's Remote Service Admin implementation [1].   This allows console 
examination of exported/imported services, as well as the ability to 
actually export and import remote services via the console.

See this wiki page for documentation [2] and here [3] for the current 
snapshot of master.

This will be in ECF 3.14.0/Photon which will be complete in about 1 
month.  Any testing/comments/suggestions appreciated.

Ffor everyone's info:  For 3.14.0 the basic topology manager included 
with RSA will require use of declarative services (ds), as will the 
timeservice examples.   It will still be possible to run RSA w/o 
declarative services, but will require some additional work (e.g. own 
topology manager impl).  Also, I've adjusted the startup behavior of RSA 
so that all deps get started in the proper order (even though lazy) when 
RSA gets started.    It will no longer be necessary to be concerned with 
bundle start order on either lazy (Eclipse, Kura) or non-lazy (Karaf, 
felix) OSGi environments.

This will make it possible to create some bndtools projects that can 
easily use ECF RSA for bndtools projects.  It's my intention to create a 
couple of example bndtools rs projects that use ECF RSA.
