[VFS] File metadata
One thought.... shouldn't the file metadata information (i.e.
FileContent.getAttributes() ), also be constrained ?
We could then also use that API to expose and allow to view/modify
things like security information (owner, group, permission), svn log
history, etc.

So you mean use the Service API both to provide extra information in
addition to Operations/Actions ?

Oh ! I thought they were for metadata attributes, like for example the
SVN attributes... I think it might be better to clarify that in the
javadocs :-)

These attributes are mainly to get attributes stored e.g. in the jar
manifest. We cant constrain them as we dont know which might exists

As I said, I think the separate service/... framework would be the best way.
