[ecf-dev] ECF 3.8.1...Luna M7 and wind-down

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I've just built ECF 3.8.1/Luna, and then used it to make ECF's 
contribution to the Luna aggregator for M7+1.

I will test the M7 build/distro, but I would appreciated it if others 
will try installing it into Eclipse Kepler and/or Eclipse Luna...and 
check for install issues, incorrect meta-data, etc.  If you find 
something that looks wrong, please open an ECF bug [1], and it will be 
fixed prior to RC1 if at all possible.

If people are installing parts of ECF (e.g. remote services/RSA) into 
non-Eclipse environments (e.g. Karaf, Equinox-on-server, etc) then any 
reports of difficulties/problems would be most welcome.

One thing to know...for Kepler, it's necessary to install a 'feature 
patch' for p2...so that the ECF core and filetransfer bundles are 
used/usable in Kepler.   This is not necessary for Luna, because with 
[2] we have made it possible to update ECF core+filetransfer at any 
time.   I will eventually update the ECF download page docs with this 
information...i.e. the need to have the feature patch on Kepler but not 
with Luna...but I haven't had a chance to do so.

Please try to do this soon...i.e. before week of 5/12...so that there is 
sufficient time to address any install issues before RC1+0 (5/17).

Thanks,

Scott
