Improved parsing of Application metadata.
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: ARIES-52
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-52
             Project: Aries
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Application
    Affects Versions: Incubation
            Reporter: Alasdair Nottingham
            Assignee: Alasdair Nottingham
             Fix For: Incubation


The application.mf parsing support requires a java.util.jar.Manifest. This 
means that each line needs to be no more than 76 bytes long. This makes things 
harder for a developer. So I propose the following changes:

1. Add a new method to ManifestProcessor to do a friendly manifest parse
2. Remove the static ApplicationMetadataFactory as this is a non-optimal OSGi 
pattern
3. Add a new ApplicationMetadataManager service which is a service and will 
parse metadata from a Manifest, InputStream, and provide a mechanism for 
sharing parsed ApplicationMetadata when another client does not have access to 
the manifest.
