Hi everybody,

with 1.2 out of the door and discussion open for 2.0, Scott and me would
like to propose non backward compatible API changes in ecf.discovery:

- [Discovery] IServiceListener API should be simplified/ no partially
resolved services anymore -
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=207085
- [Discovery] Namespace semantics for discovery need to be different -
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=207089
- [Discovery] Discovery may define a generic IServiceTypeID
independently of providers -
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=207091

If anybody sees problems/has comments, please speak up asap. :-)

Regards,
Markus
