Re: [ecf-dev] getting started with ECF

Hi David,

You do need to explicitly add org.eclipse.ecf.provider.remoteservice for 
the use of the generic provider.  The reason that bundle 
(org.eclipse.ecf.provider.remoteservice) is *not* included in the 
product below is because it was created to use r-OSGi, which implements 
the IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter directly.  The implementation for the 
generic client and server IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter is exposed by 
an adapter factory that is present in the 
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.remoteservice bundle...so when using the 
generic provider, this additional bundle 
(org.eclipse.ecf.provider.remoteservice) is needed.

Also...if you change the product's contents, it's prudent (although 
somewhat superstitious) to explicitly

So I think what I will do to make this easier for everyone in the future 
is to create new product files in the hello examples...i.e. one for 
r-OSGi (with the existing contents), and one for ECF generic (that 
includes the org.eclipse.ecf.provider.remoteservice bundle among 
others).   I've created a bug to this effect here for tracking:  
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=290439.

Thanks,

Scott
