[science-iwg] ECF 3.13 released

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ECF 3.13 has just been released [1].

ECF provides a modular and CT-tested implementation of OSGi R6 Remote Services and Remote Service Admin (1.1) specifications.

The important additions in 3.13 [2]

i) New API (and tutorial) to simplify the creation of custom remote services distribution providers.   The distribution provider API makes it easy to introduce alternative/new/private protocols, serialization formats, or communication patterns (e.g. client/server or pub-sub groups) *without* modifying the service API or implementation
ii) Distribution provider implementations based upon MQTT, CXF, Jersey, Hazelcast and associated technical documentation [3]
iii) Eclipse tooling to aid in the development, debugging, testing, and deployment of remote services [2]
