| I'm about to start my first development project with a significant offshore element, and I'm evaluating ECF as a collaboration tool. In particular, I'm interested in the shared editing capabilities - presumably this means DocShare and COLA. However, I'm having difficulty navigating through all the documentation to find any discussion of how to start working - most of what I've found now seems to be deprecated.

There is a lot of documentation about starting up a Generic Server under Equinox, but this seems to be outdated - and I have seen suggestions that it doesn't support DocShare anyway. My Eclipse is 3.5.1 Build id: M20090917-0800, and my ECF is Eclipse Communication Framework SDK 3.1.0.v20091012-1618. I really need to host any required server component internally for security and stability reasons. Can you please point me in the right direction - if documentation currently exists, please point me to the bit that covers stuff that hasn't been deprecated...
