[ecf-dev] ssl-based generic provider

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I've been working on a contribution to address this bug:

Create generic provider that uses SSL transport
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=391677

I've almost got it going/ready for testing, etc., but wanted to notify 
the community about one implication:   The bundle 
org.eclipse.ecf.provider (where the generic provider is located), 
currently has a minimum execution environment set to CDC 1.1.   The 
addition of this ssl-based generic provider requires that the minimum EE 
be set to jre 1.4 (because of dependence on javax.net, which is not 
included in CDC 1.1).

I don't really know of any consumers that are using CDC 1.1 any longer, 
so perhaps this affects no one, but I wanted to make sure before I make 
the change.   If you are a consumer of ECF (this bundle) that is using 
CDC 1.1 then please let us know.

Thanks,

Scott
