| Previously, ECF has had three major releases: |
| ECF 1.0.0 as part of <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Europa_Simultaneous_Release">Europa Simultaneous Release</a>, |
| ECF 2.0.0 as part of <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Ganymede_Simultaneous_Release">Ganymede Simultaneous Release</a>, |
| ECF 3.0.0 as part of <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Galileo_Simultaneous_Release">Galileo Simultaneous Release</a>, |
| and ECF 3.3.0 as part of <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Helios_Simultaneous_Release">Helios Simultaneous Release</a>. |
| This plan describes the work for ECF 3.6, which will occur in June, 2011 as part of the |
| <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Indigo_Simultaneous_Release">Indigo Simultaneous Release</a>. |
| </p> |
| </div><h2><a name="release_deliverables">Release Deliverables</a></h2><div> |
| <p> |
| The major ECF 3.6 release deliverables are as follows: |
| <ol> |
| <li>Fully implement OSGi 4.2 Remote Services Admin standard (chapter 122 in OSGi enterprise specification)</li> |
| <li>Use (and extend) Google Wave provider to implement a multiplayer game</li> |
| <li>Extend DNSSD discovery provider</li> |
| <li>Introduce XML-RPC-based remote services provider</li> |
| <li>Introduce SIP provider and improve/update/extend the ECF call API (VOIP/telephony)</li> |
| <li>Improve and Extend the ECF Example Applications, with |
| special emphasis on OSGi remote services and remote service admin examples |
| </li> |
| <li>Enable easier creation and use of Equinox+ECF remote services-based Server |
| Runtimes</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| </p> |
| </div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="release_milestones">Release Milestones</a></h2><div> |
| ECF plans on delivering milestone on the same general schedule as |
| the |
| <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Helios_Simultaneous_Release">Helios Simultaneous Release</a> |
| schedule, starting with M4. ECF has both +0 and +1 components. The |
| +0 components will be |
| on same release schedule as the Platform, and the +1 components will |
| be as specified below. |

| ECF's target environments are: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Eclipse</li> |
| <li>Eclipse-based Applications</li> |
| <li>Eclipse RCP</li> |
| <li>Other Equinox-Based Runtimes (e.g. Equinox servers and |
| CDC1.1/Foundation 1.1 environments)</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div><h3>Internationalization</h3> |
| <div>ECF doesn't perform internationalization directly, although |
| we develop our plugins following |
| common rules about string externalization to make the automation possible |
| </div> |
| <p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><div> |
| <p> |
| ECF has a policy of maintaining API backward compatibility with |
| minor and service releases. API is considered all |
| exported packages (i.e. packages that do not have |
| <pre>x-internal:=true</pre> |
| in their Export-Package declaration. As an example, |
| with the following declaration in the org.eclipse.ecf MANIFEST.MF |
| </p> |
| <pre>Export-Package: org.eclipse.ecf.core, |
| org.eclipse.ecf.internal.core;x-internal:=true |
| </pre> |
| <p>The org.eclipse.ecf.core package is API, and the |
| org.eclipse.ecf.internal.core package is not</p> |
| <p>Only with major releases (e.g. 2.0.0, 3.0.0) are incompatible |
| API changes to be introduced (e.g. refactorings, renames), and even |
| then only after discussion |
| among multiple committers. For the parts of ECF used by the Platform |
| (e.g. the core and file transfer bundles), NO incompatible |
| API changes will be introduced, even for major releases, in order to |
| maintain the platform backward compatibility |
| constraints.</p> |
