Commons Log should not export OSGi Configuration Admin package but have a 
dynamic dependency

                 Key: SLING-1482
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1482
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Commons
    Affects Versions: Commons Log 2.0.6
            Reporter: Felix Meschberger
            Assignee: Felix Meschberger
             Fix For: Commons Log 2.0.8


Currently the Commons Log module exports the OSGi Configuration Admin package 
to be able to register ManagedService[Factory] services. This is probably very 
bad style but has been done to have the Log mechanism configurable as soon as 
the Configuration Admin service is registered.

There is a better solution to this problem though:
  * The OSGi Configuration Admin package is imported using 
DynamicImport-Package. This allows for
       dynamic wiring only when the API is used.
  * The ManagedService[Factory] services are registered as ServiceFactory 
services. This means,
       that the actual Configuration Admin API (ManagedService[Factory] 
interfaces and ConfigurationException)
       need only be wired, when these services are actually accessed -- which 
in turn is the case only
       when the ConfigurationAdmin service is registered and starts working.

Thus we solve the exact problem: Commons Log can be active and will be 
Configuration Admin configurable as soon as the ConfigurationAdmin service is 
active.
