Re: [ecf-dev] Initial upload of jSLP provider to ecf1.osuosl.org

Hi Markus,

We use jSLP internally and build from source from an internal CVS
server.  We build both a pure OSGi bundle and an Eclipse plugin and
reference it via a feature.  Assuming it's alright with Jan we'd be
happy to contribute any of these build scripts if it helps.  Also note
that it was our experience (3 - 4 months ago) that building from an
SVN repository is not just a matter of changing the Map files, and it
was easier and cleaner for us to stick with CVS.  If this is no longer
the case I'd love to know :)
      
It would be easier and cleaner for us to stick with CVS as well (I'm a
fan of SVN, personally) but the build...especially PDE build just gets
more complicated when multiple repositories are used.
    
What about migrating to SVN completely, supposably ECF moves to Tools
and we are going to restructure CVS anyway?
  

We are not doing the tools move review this week, but may very well do it sometime in the future.

RE: restructuring CVS...yes, but moving to SVN has other implications (first off:  not sure whether platform/equinox can use SVN for build, and ECF will have core + filetransfer bundles as part of provisioning).

And I have a general question RE: SVN...are the Eclipse clients (subclipse or other) high-functioning now (e.g. compare/merge, etc)?

In any event...SVN is a possibility, but I'm not sure if it's the best thing yet...maybe...I remain open to it myself.  Others please chime in positively or negatively for ECF.
