<p><br></p>
<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>

These are now the only plugins required for use of ECF, so the total code for minimal ECF applications is 73K. The <b>ecf</b> plugin exports the packages
and classes from <b>ecf.identity</b>, so it is not necessary for the <b>ecf.identity</b> plugin to be explicitly added.
<p></p>
There is now also a third core plugin <b>ecf.sharedobject</b>:

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.

<B>NEW ECF CONVENTION</b>: Container adapter interfaces now use common naming
</P>
</TD>
<TD vAlign=top width="70%">
<p><br></p>
<p>Previously, the container adapter interfaces in the various extension APIs (e.g. discovery) did not have a common naming convention. For
example, <b>org.eclipse.ecf.discovery.IDiscoveryContainer</b>, or <b>org.eclipse.ecf.datashare.IChannelContainer</b>. Now, all of these
adapter interfaces have the convention of <b>I<type>ContainerAdapter.class</b>. So, for example, <b>org.eclipse.ecf.discovery.IDiscoveryContainer.class</b> is now
called <b>org.eclipse.ecf.discovery.IDiscoveryContainerAdapter.class</b>, and <b>org.eclipse.ecf.datashare.IChannelContainer</b> is now
called <b>org.eclipse.ecf.datashare.IChannelContainerAdapter</b>. These interfaces are intended to be used as adapters for <b>org.eclipse.ecf.core.IContainer</b>
instances, e.g.:
<p></p>
<pre>
IContainer container = ContainerFactory.getDefault().createContainer("type");
IDiscoveryContainerAdapter discovery =
(IDiscoveryContainerAdapter) container.getAdapter(IDiscoveryContainerAdapter.class);
