Resource Synchronization between N Workspaces
There are two similar but different functionalities:
- bug 239048 - keep N resources synchronized by distributing changes made to one resource to N-1 other peers
- bug 257017 - synchronize a resource with the same resource elsewhere using Compare and Team APIs
Remy has working code written but the bundles' names need to be finalized before they are committed to CVS.
Presence API implementation on top of org.eclipse.ecf.example.collab
Time has shown that people who install the ECF examples and connect around with the ecftcp protocol appears to assume that features implemented over the Datashare APIs (like DocShare) should work for them (see this blog post and this newsgroup post). This is false but is quite misleading as there are often features in the examples plug-in which kind of works but are similar in name to the actual feature that's been pushed down to ECF core. More often than not, the core feature could've been reused by the examples plug-in but it doesn't work because the examples plug-in doesn't offer an implementation of the Presence API. Unfortunately, since a chat window appears, it adds to the false impression that the examples plug-in gives to the user.
Since the plug-in is an "example", we should essentially be allowed to add, change, and delete things at will. Requesting comments from Scott as to the implications of such drastic actions.
