The unfortunately named "Eclipse Project" is the project dedicated to producing the Eclipse SDK. This name made sense back when there were only two or three projects at Eclipse, but now it is frequently referred to as the "Eclipse SDK Project" to reduce confusion (or just "The Platform" when we're feeling grandiose).  This project in turn is composed of four sub-projects: [http://eclipse.org/equinox Equinox], [http://eclipse.org/platform Platform], [http://eclipse.org/jdt Java development tools] (JDT), and [http://eclipse.org/pde Plug-in Development Environment] (PDE).

The following steps launch two copies of the Higgins demo app, instantiate a "ProfileShare" context on each and share some simple vCard-like information (Name, address, etc.) between the two apps.
+
* [[Platform]]
 +
* [[Equinox]]
 +
* [[JDT|JDT]]
  
* Make sure ECF plug-ins are installed as described above
+
== Topic hubs ==
* Launch the Java Application configuration named ServerApplication with either Eclipse  Run->Run... or Run->Debug...
+
* Launch the Eclipse Application configuration named Higgins Demo App 1  with either Eclipse Run->Run... or Run->Debug...
+
* Launch the Eclipse Application configuration named Higgins Demo App 2 with either Eclipse Run->Run... or Run->Debug...
+
At this point you should have the ECF server running and two demo apps.
+
  
* On the first app click Context > New > ProfileShare - this will bring up the 'New Profile Share context' dialogue box:
+
* [[Automated Testing]]
**  Type "ps1" into the field "Name for new profile sharing network"
+
* [[Eclipse Documentation | Documentation]]
**  Type "demo1" into the field "Your alias within this profile sharing network"
+
* [[Internationalization]]
**  Type "A" into user name (this is ignored)
+
* [[API Central]]
**  Type "A" into the password (this is ignored)
+
* [[Polish3.2|Polish]] item list for 3.2
**  Leave the other fields alone
+
**  Click Finish
+
* In the context tree view, expand the root node and then expand the 'ps1' node
+
* Select the 'demo1' leaf node (facet)
+
* In the How I'm Seen tab, enter some information into the various fields
+
* Click the Save Changes icon (looks like a clipboard)
+
* Click Context > Sync
+
* In the second app click Context > New > ProfileShare - this will bring up the 'New Profile Share context' dialogue box:
+
**  Type "ps1" into the field "Name for new profile sharing network"
+
**  Type "demo2" into the field "Your alias within this profile sharing network"
+
**  Type "A" into user name (this is ignored)
+
**  Type "A" into the password (this is ignored)
+
**  Leave the other fields alone
+
**  Click Finish
+
* Select 'ps1' in the context navigator view
+
* Click on People > Create Facet
+
* The create facet name dialogue will appear:
+
**  Type "demo1" in the "The facet name" field
+
**  Click OK
+
* Notice that if you select 'demo1' in the Contexts tree (in the second app), the information shown in What I See in is whatever was entered originally in the first app.  
+
 
+
After you edit/update information about your app's facet (e.g. demo1 for the first app and demo2 for the second), you must remember to both Save Changes and Context > Sync in order to propagate the changes.
+
 
+
BUG: The How I'm Seen and What I See tabbed views do not refresh themselves properly. You must select the facet in the Context view at the left each time to force a refresh.

The unfortunately named "Eclipse Project" is the project dedicated to producing the Eclipse SDK. This name made sense back when there were only two or three projects at Eclipse, but now it is frequently referred to as the "Eclipse SDK Project" to reduce confusion (or just "The Platform" when we're feeling grandiose). This project in turn is composed of four sub-projects: Equinox, Platform, Java development tools (JDT), and Plug-in Development Environment (PDE).
