Mario,
The one problem I see with the service API is that if I'm trying to find
metadata for a FileObject, looking in the service API isn't an obvious
thing to do. Most people when they're starting to learn VFS are going
to look for some method in the FileObject (or if they're clever in the
FileContentInfo). Either of these places are logical places to look for
metadata methods.
Any ideas about how we could make it easier for them?

Hi Mark!
My current metadata list includes:
EXIF/IPTC for JPEGs, and PNGs
Open Office metadata
Microsoft Office metadata
MP3/AAC/Ogg metadata
Ok, so this perfectly match the operation API (aka service API)
I'll try to find some time this week to apply this patch so you can
start using it.
The services API looks like a rewrite of the commands in the JavaBeans
Activation Framework.
Yes and no. For sure we can write an adapter then to expose our api
throug JAF too. But as far as I understand JAF works on mimeTypes only.
Our operation API should provide operations SVN like update/commit too.
This cant be expressed through the mimeType of the file.
The possible operations for a given fileObject is a merge of
1) for sure its mimeType
2) directory capabilites (SVN, CVS, ...) and
3) global fileSystem capabilities (copy, move, rename, ....)
