Purpose

This is work that was not completed from COSMOS Design 208274. We need the ability to easily generate the code for a custom data manager client, for those who do not want to use the default data manager client.

Detailed Design

The data manager client project is a standard Java project. There should be no difference in the implementation regardless of whether we are deploying using J2EE or OSGi.

The tooling should generate a project that incorporates all the prereq libraries and generates the stub subclasses detailed in COSMOS Design 208274.

Test Coverage

There should be a JUnit test to ensure that a custom data manager client created using this toolkit can be registered with COSMOS and will run against the example MDR.

Open Issues/Questions

All reviewer feedback should go in the Talk page for 220592.
