Hi Folks,
For everyone's information...I've moved the new
EndpointDiscoveryView to the EF git repo, in the
org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.ui plugin. Among other things,
this means that this new view (and the new associated
perspective that Wim created) will be present in ECF Mars
release.
Below is new screenshot...including the PDE enhancement (notice
the Import service icon in lower right plugins view) recently
applied via bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=270684.
I would appreciate any testing/bug report, any desired new
features, and/or improvement in graphics (e.g. add transparent
background to the perspective icon?)

Cool Scott, great work. I was working on this
icon as the endpoint icon.
Hi Wim. Although I like this icon, and think that we should
keep/add it so that we can use it in the future, I would like to
stick with the existing Endpoint icon for Mars for the following
reasons:
1) To my eye, what I've got for Endpoint visually stands out
better than the above, and for first release I would like to
have something that stands out relative to the other parts of
Eclipse tooling.
2) AFAIK, we are introducing the concept of an 'Endpoint' (in
the Remote Service/RSA context), and I would like to establish
that visually and conceptually. I think that the 'E' in the
existing icon helps do that (gives a textual as well as visual
reminder of what it's representing).
I would, however, like to add this icon to our set, and then we
could use it for other RSA concepts when we need it. Would that
be OK with you?
Also...if there are people that are more fascile than I am
(probably all of you) with Gimp/image editor, and want to
improve/do more anti-aliasing/improve the icons that are there I
would welcome that. After spending time with Gimp over the
weekend, I just don't have the eye and Gimp editing skills to do
that effectively for icons.
Now...about the build...although I appreciate your work on the
build today, I think it might be easier for releng and
deployment if I were to simply move/contribute all of what's
currently in the project at [1] into the already-existing EF
bundle: org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservices.ui. Then we wouldn't
need a new project/build/repo, it would simply be there in
subsequent releases (Mars). Also, then we could have this new
view in the new Remote Services perspective by default, and know
that it was there without further installation by users...other
than installing what we have now. How would that be?
OTOH, it might be useful to create a new feature to contain
*just* the Remote Service tooling (and dependencies), so that
consumers could install (into Eclipse) *just* the Remote
Services tooling parts of ECF. I'm currently torn somewhat
about that, however, because the way it is now maybe just
fine...i.e. if people install ECF sdk into Eclipse (not a huge
install at all relative to most other projects), then they will
get this RS perspective/views/tooling along with the
Communications perspective and other stuff. Actually, now that
I think about it I think we would have to do a fair amount of
feature refactoring to do this (allow only the install of RS
tooling), so I think that must/should wait for another release.
To summarize: my proposal is that I move everything from the
github project over to org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservices.ui, and
then we won't need another releng/build/project, etc, and we can
use the existing feature structure for Mars. I apologize for
not stating this clearly prior to your work on the releng over
the last day.
Scott
