Description

The AceObrRepository (at least in the way it's used in the gogo support functions) doesn't support using a repository that requires authentication.

I've tried adding a Registry to the plugin to provide a "aQute.bnd.deployer.http.HttpBasicAuthURLConnector", this resolves the issue for read actions but the upload method still doesn't work. The UrlConnector interface currently only supports read actions so making this work would require a change in bnd.

Discussed this issue with marrs, he proposed to obtain a BundleContext using FrameworkUtil to retrieve the Ace ConnectionFactory service. A possible drawback of this solution would be that this doesn't work in case the AceObrRepository is used from bnd(tools)
