[news.eclipse.technology.corona] Corona's use of ECF

["Jim Wright" <jim.wright@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A Corona 'Collaboration Event' is used to communicate information to each
Corona participant.  Every Corona 'Collaboration Event' has an associated
topic.  These topics are used to group the events.



To communicate the Corona server and Corona Eclipse Workbench clients use
ECF for communication.  As events are sent to topics, an ECF group is
created for each new topic.  The ECF group consists of a server instance
(TCPServerSOContainer) and a client instance (TCPClientSOContainer).  The
events are sent using a single shared object.  The use of ECF groups for
topic management allows only topic members to receive message of interest.
