| <p>Previously, there was one core ECF bundle <b>org.eclipse.ecf</b>. This bundle |
| was approximately 150K of code. In response to <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/ecf-dev/msg00391.html">dev mailing list postings about ECF code size and applicability in multiple runtime environments</a> we |
| went about refactoring the ECF core plugins so that there was less code, and less code was required for other ECF APIs (like filetransfer, datashare, |
| discovery, remoteservices). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| There are now two core plugins: <b>org.eclipse.ecf.identity</b> and <b>org.eclipse.ecf</b>. <b>org.eclipse.ecf</b> depends upon <b>org.eclipse.ecf.identity</b>.<br></br> |

| This plugin is <b>not</b> required for other ECF API plugins (e.g. filetransfer, discovery, remoteservices, datashare), but |
| is useful as an API...particularly for implementing component-based ECF providers. |
| <p> |
| <b>NOTE</b>: One consequence of this refactoring is that the shared object API interfaces and classes (ISharedObject, ISharedObjectContainer, etc) that |
| were present in the <b>org.eclipse.ecf.core</b> package are now no longer in that package. These classes can, however, be found in the <b>org.eclipse.ecf.core.sharedobject</b> |
| package, which is now in the <b>org.eclipse.ecf.sharedobject</b> plugin (the <b>org.eclipse.ecf.core.sharedobject</b> project). In most cases, |
| adding the <b>org.eclipse.ecf.sharedobject</b> plugin to list of your plugin's dependencies and then having Eclipse "Add Import" or "Organize Imports" |
| should fix with new package names. |
