Description

Sling Connector code in the IDE Tooling needs to be IDE independent to make it possible to be used in other IDEs like IntelliJ, NetBeans etc. There are two main areas:

1) Modules should not contain OSGi references as for example IntelliJ does not use OSGi internally. IDE can wrap a module inside OSGi but shouldn't require it.

2) Code that is used to check or deploy resources on Sling should be IDE independent. For example ResourceChangeCommandFactory should not be using I-classes from Eclipse but rather Interfaces that can be implemented by any IDE to their requirements.

The main reason for doing this is to ease the adoption of new code from this project as well as making it easier for new IDE to adopt.
