Description

Although Autoconf appears to consult MetaTypeService to resolve OCDs in code it never will. This is caused by the fact that the bundle does not import org.osgi.service.metatype, but embeds it. Any actual MetaTypeService will not be assignable.

The reason it doesn't fail is that the dependencymanager dependency is optional. As a result the AutoconfResourceProcessor operates against an injected NullObject. You never get any warning, but it simply never resolves OCDs.

Besides fixing the import IMHO it would not be unreasnable to require MetaTypeService
