Re: [ecf-dev] Optionally Using ECF Functionality

Hi Ken,

Hey Everyone ~
I'm speaking from a day-job context :). We are looking to
incorporate some features of ECF into an upcoming open source product,
and would like to use ECF "as is" (ie no custom UI). However due to
compatibility issues with previous versions of Eclipse, we'd like this
support to be optional. Does an extension point exist that we can
utilize to optionally create an instance of an chat view?
No. BTW, do you mean a chat view as in the IM chat, or the example
collab chat?
I'd prefer not to add ECF dependencies into our build system. It is
complex enough already...
Understood...complex build systems seem to be the way of the plugin world.
But I'm not sure that even an ECF extension point would really help you
with avoiding this, as if I'm reading you right you probably want to
include ECF plugins/bundles in the version of you product targeted for
Eclipse 3.3, but not for versions targeted for Eclipse 3.2 or
earlier...is that right?
One thought is that if you are using PDE build you could easily have a
map file that uses http to retrieve bundles via the ECF update site:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ecf/update/site.xml
Or we could set up a web server on ecf1.osuosl.org to hold the built ECF
features and plugins and your build could retrieve them from there.
And do you want to access the bundles at ecf1.osuosl.org as well (e.g.
activemq jms, weblogic jms, jgroups, yahoo, skype providers?)
Scott
Thanks
ken
