Hi all,

please let me introduce myself first: I am Christofer Dutz, the 
initiator and VP of the Apache PLC4X project.

For the past years I have always thought that Eclipse Kura would be a 
perfect candidate for a PLC4X integration. I tried reaching out to the 
community, but was unable to seed any interest in joining forces for 
such an integration.

So I will be working on this myself. I would however be happy with 
anyone willing to help with this as I am completely new to Kura and the 
way Eclipse projects seem to be built (I have seen that Maven is being 
used, but in a very strange way that prevents me from running it in a CI 
environment and makes it difficult to develop in anything but the 
Eclipse IDE) ... is there any reason for not using a standard maven build?

With such a PLC4X integration, Kura could profit from access to the 
following devices using the following protocols:
- Allen-Bradley ETH
- Beckhoff ADS/AMS
- BACNet/IP
- CANopen
- DF1
- EtherNet/IP
- Firmata
- KNXnet/IP
- Modbus
- OPC-UA
- S7

I am currently working on implementing a PROFINET Master driver. But 
this list is usually steadily growing over time. Currently it's slowed 
down a bit as we're currently bringing existing driver to other 
languages such as Go and C and the community is also working on C#/.Net, 
C++ and Python versions.

Also are we currently working hard on implementing auto-discovery for 
some of the drivers (Scan your network and automatically find devices)
as well as "browse" features (Which resources does a device I'm 
connected to have to offer?).

So if anyone is interested in helping me with getting this integration 
module, I'd be very happy for some help.

Chris
