Description

The Launchpad Builder is referring to a number of outdated artifacts from the Apache Felix Project:

org.apache.felix.webconsole: 3.1.6 ==> 4.0.0
org.apache.felix.webconsole.plugins.memoryusage: 1.0.2 ==> 1.0.4
org.apache.felix.scr: 1.6.0 ==> 1.6.4
org.apache.felix.configadmin: 1.2.8 ==> 1.6.0
org.apache.felix.metatype: 1.0.4 ==> 1.0.6

Updating the Web Console requires the installation of the following additional bundles:
org.apache.geronimo.bundles:json:20090211_1
org.apache.felix.webconsole.plugins.ds:1.0.0
org.apache.felix.webconsole.plugins.packageadmin:1.0.0

The Felix SCR bundle is problematic: The current release 1.6.2 has a problem (FELIX-3754) which prevents the Sling POST Servlet to properly register its internal operations. The issue is fixed but we wait for a release of the SCR bundle before updating this reference.

The Metatype bundle update implements the latest MetaType Service spec and fixes a number of bugs and specification non-compliances. As a consequence the Web Console's dated MetaType Service support was buggy, too, and needs to be updated.
