Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2010-11-16 06:52:51 EST 
The TM Discovery component hasn't seen any contribution, maintenance or mailing list question since several releases. The original contributor no longer is an Eclipse committer.

I thus propose removing discovery from the TM 3.3 release, and archiving it.

Use this bug as the channel for questions / comments.

Just want to point out that ECF has a generic discovery API [0] that is still actively used and maintained.
