>             Project: Sling
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Jason E Bailey
>            Priority: Major
>
> Implement default methods in the ValueMap interface that leverages the OSGi Converter
> see
> [https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/util.converter.html]
> Once this is implemented, custom implementations of the ValueMap interface can start being removed, where appropriate, so that a consistent and comprehensive conversion of properties occur.  We can then add new Rules to the Converter to allow features to be populated to all ValueMap implementations.
>  
> To implement this, the following will also need to happen
>  * The Converter bundle will need to be added as a required bundle
>  ** Various scripts that define the minimum needed set of bundles will need to be updated
>  * Communication on the difference in behaviour between the current ValueMap and the ValueMap with Converter
