Unfortunately I don't think so.   Markus Kuppe was/is the original 
author of the dnssd provider and he would know more about tutorials or 
other examples.  There is test code here:

http://git.eclipse.org/c/ecf/org.eclipse.ecf.git/tree/tests/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.tests.provider.dnssd

I can tell you that the dnssd provider implements the ECF discovery API 
(org.eclipse.ecf.discovery), and so should work with remote services 
discovery...and any other apps that use the use the ecf.discovery API.

No, not for this release.   Markus is not currently available to 
support, it is getting some bit rot from using org.xbill.dns to 
implement the protocol, and as you've discovered there's not much 
example/docs about using it...so it's even harder to support under those 
conditions.

The bundles are available via the p2 repo for latest ECF: 
http://download.eclipse.org/rt/ecf/latest/site.p2  and the provider 
consists of the two bundles:  org.eclipse.ecf.provider.dnssd and 
org.xbill.dns.

If you and/or others are willing to update it and/or help document and 
support it, I would be most willing to add it to the maven central set 
for future ECF release.

Thanks,

Scott
