Hello,
Our software team in Australia is developing a RCP application (GumTree) for
scientific instrument control. I believe we can leverage ECF to provide
better user experience in our application.
I can imagine the following services can be integrate for us via ecf:
1. Chating / message exchange (already available in ecf)
2. File exchange (also available in ecf)
3. Remote control on Eclipse view (like remote desktop in Windows where
client has to accept remote control request from another party). So that
the instrument scientist can help novice instrument user online.
I've tried ecf m2, and the current implementation requires one to hook up
with a project. However, project is IDE specific and cannot be leveraged by
RCP easily. My question is how to leverage the most out of the current ecf
implementation for RCP application? It may be useful if we can just reuse
the standard view (like "ECF Collaboration). Thanks.
Regards,
Tony.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your speedy respond. I guess if ECF committers keep in mind that
RCP developers are always interest in ECF, this project will have a greater
impact on the Eclipse ecosystem. I'll have a good look on
org.eclipse.ecf.example.collab, and contact you for extra help. Thanks.
Regards,
Tony.
