+ <td valign="top" width="85%"><p>At the <a href="https://github.com/ECF">ECF Github organization</a>, we've created OSGi Remote Services allow remote monitoring and management
+ of any OSGi container (e.g. Eclipse, Equinox, Karaf, Concierge, others). The repository containing the service APIs, implementations, and tooling for Remote Management are
+ <a href="https://github.com/ECF/OSGIRemoteManagement">here</a>. Each management service is declared and implemented in separate bundles,
+ so that only relevant services may be installed and used in appropriate environments. For example, if <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/EIG:Install_into_Apache_Karaf">Karaf server environments</a> the

+ Each of the above services also has an async proxy service interface (e.g. IServiceManagerAsync), allowing the remote service to be accessed via a non-blocking<a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/ECF/Asynchronous_Remote_Services">async proxy</a> created automatically for the
+ service by ECF's Remote Services implementation. Host implementations of each of these services are also available in corresponding <a href="https://github.com/ECF/OSGIRemoteManagement/tree/master/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.mgmt.framework.host">host bundles</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Also included in the OSGi Remote Management repository are Eclipse plugins to expose a running Eclipse as a host for remote management, or to use Eclipse views as a consumer to manage a remote host.
+ For example, here is a new Eclipse Preferences user interface for exporting a Service Manager and an RSA Manager remote services:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <img src="images/screens/remotemanagementhost.png">
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Once exported, then on Eclipse consumers where the service can be discovered (e.g. on same LAN), a Remote OSGi Service view and
+ a Remote RSA Manager views may be displayed, showing the remote host's currently Exported remote services (above) and the remote host's
+ currently running OSGi services.
