Re: [ecf-dev] Remote provisioning with Equinox p2 and ECF

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eugen,

Thanks for the description of the project. It sounds very exciting. 
Eugen is currently using three ECF APIs: presence, filetransfer, and 
remote services...all over XMPP.

Eugene do you mind if I post this also to Equinox dev mailing list so 
the p2 folks can take a look also? I expect there are a number of people 
on that list that would be interested in remote administration for 
p2-based Equinox runtimes.

Thanks for letting us know about the work.

Scott
