Hi Folks,
Although I haven't been making announcements for a while now, ECF has 
been having regular releases for many years now.  See the home page 
[1].  Since the move to github, the ECF EF repo is here [2].
Just in case everyone was not aware, most of the ECF new development has 
been taking place here for many years [3].  Most of the changes/releases 
of [2] have been bug fixes and small API additions, mostly to support 
Eclilpse IDE's use of ECF filetransfer, as well as other consumer's use 
of ECF's impl of OSGi Remote Services and Remote Service Admin.
I wanted to inform all on this mailing list that although I'll remain 
the ECF project lead and continue to support consumer's use of remote 
services/RSA, I won't be doing much more in support of the Eclipse IDE's 
use of ECF filetransfer.
If someone from the ECF community is interested in providing this 
maintenance support for the Eclipse IDE then please let all know.   It 
would likely mean becoming an ECF committer and becoming familiar with 
ECF filetransfer (which has a multi-provider architecture, currently 
using Apache httpclient 5.x *and* the JRE httpclient impl) in the IDE.  
So familiarity with http/https/ssl and p2 would be helpful to have as 
experience. as well as some knowledge of the ECF codebase.  I'm happy to 
assist with this learning if necessary.
As I said, I'm not going anywhere and will continue to support this 
codebase for OSGi Remote Service/Remote Service Admin and any other use 
cases.  I will also be continuing and intensifying development on 
projects going on at [3], including etcd3 support, python<->java remote 
services, grpc-based distribution providers, JaxRS distribution 
providers, new things (e.g. RSA support in ipopo [4], a python based 
impl of OSGi bundles and service registry.
Best,
Scott
