Hi Rob, If you want to consume REST services from Eclipse, you can rely on org.apache.commons.httpclient that comes as a bundle. Best regards, /Xavier On Feb 23, 2012, at 4:43 PM, Rob Cernich wrote:

To me this client is strongly focused on the ECF API which is not the sincest you could imagine and it does not really help in terms of communicating in a RESTful way. It's more or less a HTTPClient that was adapted to conform to the REST API. To me restfulie ( http://restfulie.caelum.com.br/) java client lib was looking very nice. JAX-RS also has a client API which looks pretty nice and there's another one in Restlet ( http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_2.0/13-restlet/21-restlet/318-restlet/320-re...) Cheers André ps. in OpenShift java client we simply used HttpUrlConnection (to have a minimum set of dependencies)...

Thanks for the info all. I'm going to look into using the Apache commons http client. I don't need the ECF capabilities and it looks like commons http is pretty commonly used by other Eclipse plugins. Thanks again, Rob
