[equinox-dev] a future with futures

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On this E4 enhancement request: 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=253777

there has been a long and fruitful discussion about supporting 
asynchronous programming (for E4 as well as other projects including 
ECF, p2, DSDP) by adding the concept of a 'future' to Equinox.  Various 
designs have been proposed, and I think that there has been a good 
amount of convergence recently...i.e. see comment 121:  
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=253777#c121 for a recent 
summary.

I would like to request that this contribution be considered for 
addition to Equinox for the Galileo release cycle.  If there is 
more/other that I can do as a contributor please let me know.
