RE: [cross-project-issues-dev] FTP/WebDAV Feature removed from Platformd

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the Heads Up, Michael.

 

FYI, while Target Management / RSE has a good FTP provider, it does not yet provide

all the features offered by the Platform Team/Extras component. For instance, it does

not currently support WebDAV and does not use the Team Synchronization APIs.

 

I have filed bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=185926 as a reminder

for DSDP Target Management that such functionality should be added in order to

serve as the successor of Platform Team/Extras: moving WebDAV support to RSE

as an RSE File Service, and creating a bridge to allow any RSE FileService act

as a provider for Platform Team Synchronization.

 

This will likely happen after Europa, and Community Help would be appreciated.

Anybody interested in this migration work please put yourself on CC of the

mentioned bug and add your comments.

Thanks,

Everyone,

The Platform FTP/WebDAV feature has been removed from future 3.3/Europa builds. The main motivation for this is that the feature is not being actively maintained and is not production quality. Also, with the inclusion of the DSDP Target Management component in Europa, we felt it would be best to stop providing the Platform feature so the community would not be confused over where to find FTP support for Eclipse.

If there are people who still use the feature, there is a link to a 3.3 compatible version of the feature on the Team Development Resources wiki page (http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Team_Development).
