Issue #257 - Better OSGI Compatibility

An easy solution that will enable using ObjectDB as a separate bundle and accessing it from other bundles / Eclipse plug ins is required.

Build 2.3.3_03 includes initial OSGi support.

The objectdb.jar is created now as an OSGi bundle and may be used from other OSGi bundles.

General OSGi issues and suggestions should be discussed in another thread.

Eclipse plugin specific issues and suggestions should be discussed here.
