      cy*Reason:*
      Teiid Designer currently employs a UI for interrogating and importing metadata from an LDAP server. This UI (2 wizards) is limited and prone to issues, eg. TEIIDDES-2478.

      The project directory.apache.org provides a more sophisticated LDAP browser View UI but has componentized into smaller reusable widgets. The BrowserWidget provides the main tree view and querying ability. Teiid would like to reuse this widget in its UI. Originally, an attempt was made to copy the widget yet porting in this fashion required the porting of 100+ classes hence a dependency makes far more sense.

      The current working implementation of Teiid with this widget can be found here:
      https://github.com/phantomjinx/teiid-designer/tree/ldap-studio

      The current release of the apache.directory project is 2 years old. However, speaking to one of the developers on #apache-directory, the project is being actively maintained and a release is being considered with the next couple of months. In addition, the svn repository is receiving commits.
