Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF)
Connecting an ECF Collaboration Client to a Test Server
- Make sure ECF plugins are installed in one of three ways
described here.
- Open the Navigator View or the Package Explorer View.
- Select any Project (first create some new project if none
previously exists).
- Right-click on the project to bring up the context menu for the
selected project.
- Select the ECF menu toward the bottom of the menu and select one
of:
- 'Join Collaboration...' This will allow you to specify an URL
of the group to join. You must know of a currently running server (and
know it's URL) to use this option.
- 'Join Test Collaboration (Localhost)' This will connect you
directly to a test server running on localhost. See Running a Collaboration Server on Localhost
if you wish to run this way.
- 'Join Test Collaboration (Composent)' This will connect you
directly to a test server running on composent.com. This is a test
server setup for the ECF team usage. You are welcome to try out
connecting to this server to test out/use the ECF example client. The
server's availability may not be consistent, however.
