==Abstract==
+
Many service providers using a REST based API to offer developers access to their services, i.e. [http://apiwiki.twitter.com/ Twitter], [http://developers.facebook.com/?ref=pf Facebook] and so on. The result of this is that some third parties provide Java based libraries, which covers this API's. The [[Eclipse_Communication_Framework_Project|ECF]] team played a little bit with the Twitter API and use therefore a library called [http://yusuke.homeip.net/twitter4j/en/index.html Twitter4J]. <br>The disadvantage of this technique is a dependency to the third parties library. This means an ECF container based on such a library is dependent on the diversity of this.
+
To decouple these dependencies an own ECF based REST abstraction should be created within this [http://socghop.appspot.com/ GSoC] project.

This project started as part of the Google Summer of Code 2009

Primary goals

  • A full working API for the REST client side to communicate to any RESTful web service.

Getting the source

See the appropriate project set below.

Project set file for anonymous CVS access:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<psf version="2.0">
  <provider id="org.eclipse.team.cvs.core.cvsnature">
    <project reference="1.0,:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/rt,org.eclipse.ecf/framework/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.rest,org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.rest"/>
    <project reference="1.0,:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/rt,org.eclipse.ecf/framework/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.rest,org.eclipse.ecf.tests.remoteservice.rest"/>
    <project reference="1.0,:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/rt,org.eclipse.ecf/incubation/bundles/org.json,org.json"/>
  </provider>
</psf>
