[ecf-dev] Problems getting the Hello example to run

[Nicole Rauch <nicole.m@xxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I'm trying to get a grip at ECF, so I downloaded the Hello example from 

http://git.eclipse.org/c/ecf/org.eclipse.ecf.git

imported the projects into an Eclipse workspace, installed ECF 3.5.0v20110313, and ran

org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.host

as Eclipse Application. This gave me

[log;+0530 2011.03.24 13:54:43:913;WARNING;org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin;org.eclipse.core.runtime.Status[plugin=org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin;code=2;message=org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin.RemoteServiceAdmin:handleServiceRegistered:No remote service containers found for serviceReference={org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.IHello}={ecf.exported.containerfactoryargs=r-osgi://localhost:9278, service.exported.configs=ecf.r_osgi.peer, service.exported.interfaces=*, service.id=49}. Remote service NOT EXPORTED;severity2;exception=null;children=[]]]
[log;+0530 2011.03.24 13:54:43:914;ERROR;org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin;org.eclipse.core.runtime.Status[plugin=org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin;code=4;message=org.eclipse.ecf.internal.osgi.services.distribution.BasicTopologyManager:handleServiceRegistered:No export registrations created by RemoteServiceAdmin=org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin.RemoteServiceAdmin@78e45b5e.

Host: Hello Service Registered

I understand that the first WARNING is ok, but the second ERROR is not, right?

Then I ran

org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.consumer

as Eclipse application, which gave me

I added org.eclipse.ecf.provider.r_osgi.identity to the Imported Packages of the consumer plugin.xml, which then gave me

WARNING: Port 9278 already in use. This instance of R-OSGi is running on port 9279

Now I give up... Can somebody please  tell me how I can get the client and server of the Hello example work together, so I can carry this over to my own project?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Nicole
