This feature is effectively a replacement for the older 2.x file system connector. It should allow ModeShape 3.0 to access content from a file system, and present the content as 'nt:file' and 'nt:folder' nodes. As with the 2.x file system connector, it must support any properties (assuming they are defined or allowed by mixins); though it should be much easier to configure than with the 2.x file system connector (ideally it would 'just work').
