ApertureDataFactory

@@ -1 +1 @@
 An object that can create DataSources and related objects to a DataSource, like crawlers and other stuff. The Factory is one important thing in an OSGI package.

+Chris> This interface assumes that a single DataSource implementation is always bundled with the same DataCrawler, DataAccessor, etc. This is typically not the case (or else there would be no use case to use OSGi at all). I would therefore advise to use a Factory interface for every API that's introduced, i.e. DataSourceFactory, DataCrawlerFactory, etc. Only then do you permit several implementations of e.g. a file system crawler to co-exist.
