Re: [ecf-dev] Listing shared files

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim,

Ken Gilmer (primarily...and I to a much lesser degree) have been working 
on some example shared editors:  
http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/NewAndNoteworthy.html

This shared editor uses the datashare api:  org.eclipse.ecf.datashare 
(API plugin) for sharing document changes in real time among a set of 
participants.

If this is what you mean by 'being able to see what is shared' then this 
would be appropriate for that as well.

Or do you mean listing remote directory contents? (I'm not quite sure 
from your posting)  If directory listings are what you mean, then 
probably it would be appropriate to add some directory listing 
capability to the fileshare API...it currently does not have an API for 
listing directory contents, etc.  This is only because I/we yet haven't 
gotten to putting such an API in place...as I believe such a 
directory/listing API should be there as well.  Note that if you need 
something immediately then you could create a custom directory 
listing/sharing protocol using the datashare API.  For example, you 
could use the workspace abstraction in Eclipse, and resource listeners 
to send around information about the local workspace (via datashare 
messages).  

And if you want to work on helping us add file/directory browsing to the 
fileshare API then that would also be most welcome.
