[Deprecated] Provides a utility component for accessing the content of an ODA data source extension's configuration.

As of BIRT 2.0, the BIRT ODA run-time framework has been migrated to the Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) project. It is replaced by the org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda packages.

It can be used by an ODA consumer and/or a data provider to discover the plug-in extension configuration.

The utility's initial entry point is the singleton `ManifestExplorer`. It provides the service to explore all the static ODA data source extensions, and access to each extension's configuration information specified in its plug-in manifest file.
The content of such ODA data source extension configuration is encapsulated in an `ExtensionManifest` and its associated objects. @since 2.0.0 @see org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.util.manifest
