[sakai2-tcc] More Indie Thinking on Profile2 / Profile

[Aaron Zeckoski]

Bear in mind that you can access EB data via Java or REST so if you
need to grab profile data which has providers then you can directly
get it in Java if you want to. You can also use the REST calls if you
outside Sakai but when you are inside it makes the most sense to use
the Java calls in the EntityBroker service.

Just wanted to mention it in case that wasn't clear.

It will also break the easy upgrade path that the indie releases provide - update the version in the pom, deploy, done.
