Convert to ome.xml.meta.*

[hinerm]

Currently we are still using loci.formats.meta.MetadataStore, etc... classes.

This is more restrictive than ome.xml.meta (as the loci.formats.meta equivalents are dummy subclasses).

However, let's wait to do so until we have an OMEXMLService that operates on ome.xml.meta classes, to avoid casting headaches.

@melissalinkert: Our goal is for the scifio-ome-xml component to be able to depend only on ome:ome-xml and not ome:formats-api. The 5.0.0 release got things much closer to that (thanks!), but there are still a couple of little things:

• Move loci.formats.meta.MetadataConverter to ome.xml.meta.
• Move loci.formats.MetadataTools to ome.xml.meta.
• Move loci.formats.services.OMEXMLService functionality to ome-xml component.

And maybe others; I didn't check 100% thoroughly yet. Basically, anything that does not need loci.formats.* should live in ome-xml IMO. Do you agree?

Anyway, this issue is a subset of that goal.

That list should be covered by: http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/11981

If there is anything else that you think should be moved, could you please add it to that ticket?

Thanks Melissa, I added a comment to that ticket enumerating the list of loci.* classes upon which scifio-ome-xml currently depends.
