Hi,

I've always wanted to have a discovery preference page where providers
can be enabled/disabled/marked for automatic startup/... for our own
product built on top of ECF, but haven't gotten around to actually
implementing it.
IMHO CompositeDiscoveryContainer/CompositeDiscoveryContainerInstantiator 
can be extended for this. This way the specific provider (jSLP/JMDNS) 
doesn't need to support this functionality. Agreement?

Cheers
Markus
