ECF 3.14.12 released - Now with gRPC for OSGi Remote Services

ECF 3.14.12 was just released

Highlights of this Release

New OSGi Remote Services Distribution provider based upon gRPC/Protocol Buffers. Along with a grpc-osgi-generator project...which allows the generation of a service API from a proto3 service declaration...this provider allows gRPC-based services to be exported and imported as OSGi Remote Services.  This now includes support for unary, server-streaming, and client-streaming gRPC calls.

Enhanced Support for Bndtools-based development of OSGi Remote Services.   The ECF Bndtools Workspace now includes the latest version of ECF Remote Services, along with the gRPC distribution provider, a Hazelcast-based discovery and distribution provider, and project and bndrun templates for creating, running, testing, and debugging OSGi Remote Services in Eclipse+Bndtools 5.
