The ECF Remote Services bundles are included in the ECF SDK, which can be downloaded or installed via p2 here. If the ECF SDK is installed into Eclipse, then a number of Eclipse views and perspectives will be made available.

Some consumers of ECF, however, may be interested in using only in the ECF implementation of OSGi remote services and the bundles implementing OSGi 4.2 Remote Services are a subset of the ECF SDK. See ECF Remote Services Bundles below.

Adding ECF SDK to Target Platform

ECF Remote Services Bundles

The ECF Remote Services bundles are a subset of the ECF SDK. Here is a project set file that has just the implementation of OSGi Remote Services. Save this file to local disk, and then within Eclipse Import this as a Team Project Set...i.e. via Import...->Team Project Set->file.

Here is an annotated listing of the ECF Remote Services bundles

ch.ethz.iks.r_osgi.remote -- R-OSGi implementation
ch.ethz.iks.slp -- jSLP implementation
org.eclipse.ecf.discovery - ECF Discovery API
org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello -- Hello World Example (Service Interface)
org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.consumer - Hello World Example Consumer
org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.ds.consumer - Hello World Declarative Services Example
org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.ds.host - Hello World Declarative Services Example
org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.host - Hello World Example Host
org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.discovery - OSGi 4.2 Remote Services Discovery Implementation
org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.discovery.local - OSGi 4.2 Remote Services Local/File-Based Discovery Implementation
org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.distribution - OSGi 4.2 Remote Services Distribution Implementation
org.eclipse.ecf.provider - ECF Generic Provider
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.discovery - ECF Discovery API multi-provider support
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.jmdns - JMDNS/Zeroconf Discovery Provider
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.jslp - jSLP Discovery Provider
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.localdiscovery - Local/File-based Discovery Implementation
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.r_osgi - R-OSGi Provider
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.remoteservice - ECF RemoteService Generic Provider
org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice - ECF Remote Service API
org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.rest - ECF Remote Service REST Support API
org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.soap - ECF Remote Service SOAP Support API

-==What's a Target Platform?==
+[[Adding ECF SDK to Target Platform]]
-When developing with Eclipse 3.5 or newer, it's possible to use a concept called a [http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/concepts/target.htm target platform].  The [http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/concepts/target.htm target platform] specifies the set of bundles used to compile and build against within the Eclipse PDE (plugin development environment).  The default target platform is Eclipse itself, but the target platform can be set to any desired set of bundles.  One way to develop applications that use some or all of ECF is to add the ECF SDK to your target platform.  Then you are able to develop against and build using ECF functionality.
-==Download Eclipse3.6M5==
-The ECF 3.2 Remote Services implementation depends upon some bundles included in the Eclipse 3.6 stream, so you should download and use '''Eclipse 3.6M5 SDK''' (or more recent than M5).
-You can [http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.6M5-201001291300/index.php download Eclipse3.6M5 SDK here] or a more recent version from the [http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ Eclipse3.6 stream here].
-==Add ECF 3.2 SDK to Target Platform==
-Now, to add the ECF SDK to your target platform in Eclipse 3.6, do the following
-#Select from Menu:  '''Window->Preferences->Plug-in Development->Target Platform'''
-#Choose '''Add...''' button
-#Initialize the Target Definition with '''Default: Default target for the running platform'''
-#Specify Name:  '''ECF 3.2 SDK'''
-#Choose '''Add...''' button
-#Select '''Software Site''' and '''Next>'''
-#Choose '''Add...''' button
-#In Add Repository dialog
-##'''Name: ECF 3.2 SDK'''
-##'''Location: http://www.eclipse.org/external/rt/ecf/3.2/3.6/site.p2'''
-#Choose '''OK'''
-#Open the ECF tree item
-#Select the '''Eclipse Communication Framework SDK''' check box
-#Unselect '''Include Required Software'''.  This option should '''not''' be selected.
-#Choose '''Finish'''
-#Select the target platform you just created (i.e. ECF 3.2 SDK)
-#Choose '''OK'''
-Your target platform should then be set to your current Eclipse, plus the ECF SDK.  Then you can refer to ECF classes in your own bundles/plugins.
