[ecf-dev] heads up with the future

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

The discovery and remote services APIs currently reference an IFuture 
interface, which is in org.eclipse.ecf.core.util.  As part of these two 
enhancement requests:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=253777
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=264127

I am soon going to be moving these references over to the IFuture 
interface and other classes over to the new 
org.eclipse.equinox.concurrency bundle/package namespace.    This will 
mean import package name changes in remote services and discovery, and 
the *removal* of these classes from org.eclipse.ecf.core.util (where 
they have been so that we could proceed with development based upon 
these interfaces while the work on the equinox contribution proceeded).

Also, since it seems somewhat unlikely that bug 24127 will be addressed 
in this Eclipse SDK release cycle (i.e. in Eclipse 3.5), we will have to 
include the org.eclipse.equinox.concurrency bundle in our own build and 
deploy...either by building it ourselves from source or including the 
copy built by the Equinox SDK in our distribution.  I, Ted, and Markus 
will do a little investigation here to choose the easiest course.

Thanks,

Scott
