     As part of the ECF RFC119/Distributed OSGi implementation in ECF 3.0/Galileo, two discovery providers were previously released:  one based upon
     jSLP (Service Location Protocol aka RFC 2608) and the other based upon Apple's Bonjour/zeroconf protocol.  File-based discovery
     provides a way to publish and discover remote service endpoints without using a network protocol at all (or in addition to a network protocol), but
     rather using an XML file that describes the endpoints of the remote services available.  See the <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/File-based_Discovery">File-based Discovery</a>
     wiki page for documentation and examples.
