I guess we have couple scenarios here :

- Considering contribution A importing a java package from
Contribution B, we can have the componentType in either Contribution
A(supported today) or contribution B (not working: TUSCANY-1873).

- We can also consider Contribution A importing a java package from
Contribution B, but sharing a componentType from a Contribution C.

We can also abstract the componentType file to some type of resource,
that needs to be imported from a different contribution, so I was
thinking on creating a resource import/export, that would work for
componentType and also for other types of resources that can be
addressed by a given URI.

Thoughts ?
