Description

MetaDataReader can be useful outside the Metatype bundle and is part of the bundle's public API. But some public methods of MetaDataReader expose XmlPullParserException which is a private class (from the embedded xmlpull):

public MetaData parse( URL url ) throws IOException, XmlPullParserException
public MetaData parse( InputStream ins ) throws IOException, XmlPullParserException

This prohibits the use of MetaDataReader from outside the Metatype bundle.
