Real-Time Shared Editing over XMPP/Google Talk and Skype |
The ECF team is working on supporting several use cases based upon real-time shared editing. For example, online code reviews, collborative
debugging and testing, and distributed pair programming. We've just started this work, and there is now some 'signs-of-life' work
that works on the XMPP/Google Talk and Skype providers. See the page DocShare plugin wiki page
for usage instructions and screen shots. Please feel free to provide input/feedback about desired features at both the UI level and the
API level via the ECF mailing list |

It's now possible to immediately share URLs and to remotely open Eclipse views via ECF the XMPP/Google Talk and/or Skype providers.

Then the receiver will see a notification like this 
And if they accept the request will then see 
The 'Send Show View Request...' has a similar sequence. |

ECF API Changes |
|
|
Discovery API |
The discovery API has been simplified and extended. See bug #209774 and the
ECF Discovery API documentation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:The discovery API has undergone a number of simplifications that make it easier to use, but have broken backward compatibility. Applications that have been written to a previous version of the discovery API will have to be changed to use the new API. See the IDiscoveryContainerAdapter class for more information. |
FileTransfer API |
Added support improvided simplified outgoing file transfer. Added new provider for SCP-based file retrieve (download)
and file send (upload). See documentation for ECF File Transfer API.
