Description

Jackrabbit is currently tightly coupled to the configuration classes in o.a.j.core.config.

To make alternative configuration mechanisms easier to implement, I'd like to introduce a set of factory interfaces for instantiating various components like FileSystems, AccessManagers, etc. The current Config classes would implement these factory interfaces, but this way the rest of the Jackrabbit codebase would no longer be tied to just one configuration mechanism.
