I was trying to setup up the Eclipse CollaborationFramework using the doc share plgin

I managed to connect the through google talk OK, but when I tried to create a collboration to share the workspace, on trying to connect to ther server I got a connection failed error, could not connect to the server

Anybody know if

  1. is the server not available anymore?
  2. is there an alternative elsewhere?
  3. Would i be better creating my own?

Thanks

You can easily create an ECF server - there's a FAQ on how to launch the server at wiki.eclipse.org.

From the command line, you can invoke it as an Eclipse application:

eclipse.exe -console -application org.eclipse.ecf.provider.AppGenericServer 1234

That starts a port on ecftpc://localhost:1234

You can also bring up an OSGi command line and use startApp to ring up an instance. This will allow you to have multiple servers in the same runtime.

java -Declipse.application.registerDescriptors=true -Declipse.ignoreApp=false -jar org.eclipse.osgi -console -noExit 
osgi> startApp org.eclipse.ecf.provider.GenericServer 1234
osgi> startApp org.eclipse.ecf.provider.GenericServer 5678

Sorry I couldn't point you to the FAQ directly before.

  • Are you referring to this page? http://wiki.eclipse.org/ECF_Servers#Setting_up_an_ECF_Generic_Server_with_Equinox – Craig Angus Jan 11 '10 at 23:06
  • That's the page, but this is the easiest way: eclipse.exe -console -application org.eclipse.ecf.provider.AppGenericServer You can also start it from the Equinox OSGi console using osgi> startApp org.eclipse.ecf.provider.GenericServer 3333 – AlBlue Jan 12 '10 at 00:16
