[ecf-dev] ECF now using Equinox servlet incubator

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ECF is now successfully using the equinox incubator 'embedding in 
servlet container' work (described here: 
http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/server)  to run an ECF generic 
collaboration server. 

We run this collaboration server continuously at ecf.eclipse.org so that 
people can easily try out the ECF example collaboration app features 
with 'live' people (rather than just localhost).  It used to be running 
as a simple java app, but now is running within a tomcat container via 
the most excellent work by Simon Kaegi and others.

I just thought people on this list might like to know that we're running 
such a server using the equinox incubator.  We're also using the 
http-console bundle for admin...for example if you want to see the login 
screen just go to:

http://ecf.eclipse.org:8080/bridge/servlet/console

(we need to password protect this public server, so if you want to see 
the whole http console interface just send me a note and I'll send 
password).

Thanks Simon and all!  We're looking forward to developing modular, 
easily integrateable and updateable messaging servers using 
OSGI/PDE/equinox/ECF...
