Using ECF Remote Services Bundles separate from the ECF SDK

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
