** it is used as default network provider (as a replacement for JNDI - which is still selectable)
** and also in the Schema Editor plugin for checking the schema inconsistencies
* A new LDAP Servers plugin has been introduced and replaces the
ApacheDS plugin:
** it provides an open way to include LDAP Server adapters which allows you create and run a new LDAP Server within seconds
** LDAP Server adapters are provided for all ApacheDS versions from
1.5.3 to the latest milestone 2.0 M4).
* A new ApacheDS 2.0 Configuration plugin takes care of editing the configuration of a 2.0 ApacheDS instance:
** it reads the configuration from the LDIF configuration file on the filesystem
** it can also read the configuration via LDAP using a connection defined in the LDAP Browser
* The RCP application is based on the latest version of Eclipse (3.7.1):
** it is provided in two versions (32 bit and 64 bit) for each major operating system (Mac OS X, Linux & Windows)
