Prior to 1.0, ECF will be going through a concerted API and exemplary app refactoring effort. See below for list of desired refactorings and current state

API Refactorings

Split org.eclipse.ecf Core Plugin into 2 or 3 Plugins--LARGE

Refactor org.eclipse.ecf plugin into 2 or 3 plugins. This is a large refactoring effort. See discussion thread on mailing list: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/ecf-dev/msg00399.html

Status: Not Done

Add Bulletin Board API to ECF Plugins and Features--LARGE

Add Bulletin Board API. See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=150756

Status: Not Done

'Low-end' Execution Environment Support

See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=149024

Problem: Dependency on javax.security.auth.callback.* classes. These classes are not available in Framework 1.1 (they are part of JAAS classes that are optional for F1.1)

Removed ECF core and all provider references to classes

  javax.security.auth.callback.Callback;
  javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler;
  javax.security.auth.callback.NameCallback;
  javax.security.auth.callback.UnsupportedCallbackException;

Status: DONE Explanation: Added new classes and changed existing references to above classes to classes in ECF org.eclipse.ecf.core.security package:

  org.eclipse.ecf.core.security.Callback;

org.eclipse.ecf.core.security.CallbackHandler;

  org.eclipse.ecf.core.security.NameCallback;
  org.eclipse.ecf.core.security.UnsupportedCallbackException;

Add 'removeListener' methods

Add removeListener methods in IChatRoomContainer (and in IPresenceContainer). Also check other listener add and check for availability of remove methods. See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=160968

Status: Not Done

Streamline ClientSOContainer

Streamline handling of creating/passing in connect data for new kind of authentication. See : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=150398

Status: Not Done

Move IInvitationListener

Move (in presence API) access to IInvitationListener to IChatRoomManager rather than IPresenceContainer. See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=160137

Status: Not Done

Introduce Convention for Container Adapters

Change all occurrences of I<whatever>Container that are intended to be used as adapters off of IContainer (via IContainer.getAdapter(I<whatever>Container) to have the following naming convention:

Was: I<whatever>Container Will be: I<whatever>ContainerAdapter

This way, it should be more obvious which interface in a given API plugin is the container adapter that should be use for the call to IContainer.getAdapter

Status: Not Done

Application Refactorings

Example Collab Application

Refactor and rewrite org.eclipse.ecf.example.collab plugin. Also need to create RCP app from new set of top-level plugins. See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=160633
