   - `ContextComponent#getContextRoot()`
   - `ContextSensor#getContextComponent()`
  - Introduced new (protected) method `BaseEntityFactory.createBaseEntity(Class, Core)` for creating instances of classes derived from `BaseEntity` using an already existing `Core` instance. Must be overridden in derived classes to ensure the instances can be created via the (usually package-private) Constructor(Core) of the BaseEntity-derived class. If the constructor of the class passed to `createBaseEntity`  is not accessible, the super class implementation is called to try if the constructor is accessible from there.
  - Introduced new (protected) method `BaseEntityFactory.getCore(BaseEntity)` to extract the Core object from a BaseEntity instance.
  - Modified the interface of BaseEntityManager: the get*Store methods have been defined as non final.
  With that, these methods can be overriden in the OdsAdpter and be used there to access the stores without resorting directly to the core.
  There also comments added in several places to improve the understandibility of the current implementation.


* org.eclipse.mdm.api.default:
 - Introduced `ApplicationContextFactory` and `ApplicationContext` which extend their base counterparts. Should be unnecessary when merging api.base and api.default repositories.


* org.eclipse.mdm.api.odsadapter:
 - Adapted to the changes from `api.base` and `api.default`


* org.eclipse.mdm.nucleus:
 - Adapted to the changes from `api.base` and `api.default`
 - `ConnectorService` manages `ApplicationContexts` instead of `EntityManagers`
 - Datasource specific parameters for `NotificationService` are now supplied by service.xml not by global.properties.
