				<p>There is a new API in the new plugin <b>org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.servlet</b>.  This API
				supports the creation of OSGi remote service providers that are implemented via a Servlet along
				with some implementation of the OSGi HttpService (e.g. Jetty, Tomcat, etc).  An example of
				using this new API for creating an OSGi Remote Service provider based upon a simple http/REST protocol
				is available in the following bundles: <br>
