[ecf-dev] ECF github

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

For some time ecf has had a number of projects/repos hosted at github.   
I've spent the effort to create maven metadata for the following 
projects/repos, and created releases for each one. (see releases link 
for each repo).  Also, I've turned on the Travis CI service for each one 
as well, so if any changes are made to these projects they will be 
automatically built on travis-ci.org.   If you wish you can add yourself 
to notification of build errors for any one or all of them.

First, the ECF github organization is here: https://github.com/ECF

Here are the repos that now have releases and maven poms.

kryo-serialization - a remote services (RS) distribution provider 
contributed by Peter Hermsdorf (thanks Peter!)

JGroups - a RS distribution provider based upon JavaGroups (JGroups):  
javagroups.org

HazelcastProvider - a RS distribution provider based upon Hazelcast 
(hazelcast.com)

XmlRpcProvider - a RS distribution provider based upon XmlRpc

JaxRSProvider - a RS distribution provider based upon the Jersey (or 
CXF) implementation of JaxRS specification

etcd-provider - a RS discovery provider based upon Google etcd

Py4j-RemoteServicesProvier - a RS distribution provider based upon Py4j, 
Google Protocol Buffers, and Google Flatbuffers.   This provider allows 
OSGI remote services implemented in Python and/or consumed in Python.

Py4j-OSGi - a 'bundleized' version of the Py4j Java libraries (version 
0.10.6)

OSGiRemoteManagement - A set of remote services (APIs) and 
implementations for managing remote OSGi frameworks.  For example, there 
are management services for the framework (IBundleManager, 
IServiceManager, IFrameworkManager), configuration management 
(IConfigurationManager), ds/service component runtime 
(IServiceComponentRuntimeManager, etc), RSA 
(IRemoteServiceAdminManager), ECF (IContainerFactoryManager), the OSGi 
application specification (IApplicationManager), OSGi metatype 
(IMetaTypeManager), as well as Karaf features (IKarafFeatureManager) and 
p2 (IFeatureInstallManager, IProfileManager, IRepositoryManagers).   
There are also some Eclipse plugins that present a user interface 
(views) for the framework bundle/service managers.   Lots here.

Mqtt-Provider - a RS distribution provider based upon Paho's 
implementation of mqtt.

JMS - a RS distribution provider based upon the ActiveMQ implementation 
of JMS

OSGiRemoteServiceAdmin - a new implementation of an OSGI Topology 
Manager that can be dynamically modified to filter remote service 
imports in different ways at different times.  Currently under testing.

Matt:  I would like to correspond with you about how best to eventually 
getting the above bundles into Maven Central.

Thanks,

Scott
