Hi Eike,
I was looking for a possible solution to remote OSGI progress monitoring
(with ECF as our remote provider implementation).
I ended up on an old article on Net4j
(http://thegordian.blogspot.com/2008/12/remoting-with-iprogressmonitor.html)
and it's reference to bugzilla
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=203406 that talks about
using Net4j as a remote service transport provider for ECF.
I see some activity up to last fall on restarting this effort.
So, here's my questions:
1. Do you see Net4j has a good candidate to achieve this remote progress
monitoring in this context?
2. Do you see possible shared advantages (or issues) if the server that
we are connecting to also serves as a CDO Server?
3. How complicated and involved do you estimate the effort to complete
this. We can help but would you be available to mentor if we go that route?
Thanks
Alain

I see. Unfortunately I can not afford "gratis time" for this work. Of course I could assist with knowledge about Net4j and the existing (old) integration...

Neither we nor the ECF team has put much effort in it. I haven't looked at it for years.

Certainly. Net4j is a very flexible and, from a developer perspective, convenient communications solution. And my old blog shows how easy remote progress monitoring can be with it.

Only advantages. From the perspective of a Net4j server CDO is "just" an ISignalProtocol like others, e.g. your own ones. You'll be able to save socket connections because Net4j multiplexes several protocols through a single transport connection.

What route exactly? What is the goal?

The route of resurrecting the Net4j/ECF provider in a correct way and
implement a remote monitoring solution for those remote OSGI services.
