Description
The JSR 269 implementation was originally written to use the java.util.Service class introduced in Mustang rather than the off-used but non-standard sun.misc.Service.  However, since NetBeans needs to be able to use JSR 269 on down-rev JDK's, it is helpful if the JSR 269 implementation doesn't have any dependencies on APIs introduced in Mustang.  Addressing this situation led to bug 6343486 to have JSR 269 use sun.misc.Service instead.  This bug is to update the annotation processing infrastructure to the standard service provider.
