| <p> |
| The ECF team is working on supporting several use cases based upon real-time shared editing. For example, online code reviews, collborative |
| debugging and testing, and distributed pair programming. We've just started this work, and there is now some 'signs-of-life' work |
| that works on the XMPP/Google Talk and Skype providers. See the page <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/DocShare_Plugin">DocShare plugin wiki page</a> |
| for usage instructions and screen shots. Please feel free to provide input/feedback about desired features at both the UI level and the |
| API level via the ECF mailing list <mailto:ecf-dev@eclipse.org> or the <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=ECF&bug_severity=enhancement">ECF bugs/enhancements list.</a> |

| <TD vAlign=top width="70%"> |
| It's now possible to immediately share URLs and to remotely open Eclipse views via ECF the XMPP/Google Talk and/or Skype providers. |
| To do so, open the context menu (right click) on the buddy of your choice in the contacts list: |
| |
| <p></p> |
| <img src="images/screens/showurl.png"></li> |
| <br><br> |
| Then the receiver will see a notification like this |
| <p></p> |
| <img src="images/screens/showurlreceive.png"></li> |
| <br><br> |
| And if they accept the request will then see |
| <p></p> |
| <img src="images/screens/showurlreceive1.png"></li> |
| <br><br> |
| The 'Send Show View Request...' has a similar sequence. |

| The discovery API has been simplified and extended. See <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=209774">bug #209774</a> and the |
| <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/ECF_API_Docs#Discovery_API">ECF Discovery API</a> documentation. |
| <br><br> |
| <b>IMPORTANT NOTE:</b>The discovery API has undergone a number of simplifications that make it easier to use, but have broken backward compatibility. Applications |
| that have been written to a previous version of the discovery API will have to be changed to use the new API. See the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/org.eclipse.ecf.docs/api/org/eclipse/ecf/discovery/IDiscoveryContainerAdapter.html">IDiscoveryContainerAdapter</a> |
