-## Eclipse Communications Framework
+## Eclipse Communication Framework
+ECF is a set of frameworks supporting multiple types of inter-process communication
 
-ECF is a set of frameworks for building communications into applications. 
+Current version: 3.15.3
 
-### Remote Services
-ECF provides a lightweight, modular, transport-independent, fully-compliant implementation of the OSGi Remote Services standard.
+### Download/Install into Bndtools/Eclipse
+NEW in 3.15.3: Feature for Remote Services tooling that depends upon on [Bndtools](https://bndtools.org/) 7.1+.  The ECF tools use bndtools project, workspace, service templates, along with wizards for remote services project creation and configuration.  The feature requires that Bndtools be [installed](https://bndtools.org/installation.html) into a recent version of Eclipse before installing the ECF Bndtools SDK feature.
 
-### Github Organization
-ECF Also has an [ECF Organization with a number of other repos](https://github.com/ECF) containing Remote Services distribution and discovery providers (e.g. grpc, jax-rs/jersey, etcd, hazelcast, others), more examples.   Most of these other repos depend upon the ECF Remote Services implementation provided by this repo.  
+<b>Name</b>:  ECF 3.15.2

+
+### OSGi Remote Services
+ECF provides a fully-compliant and multi-provider implementation of the [OSGi Remote Services](https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.remoteservices.html) and [Remote Services Admin/RSA](https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.remoteserviceadmin.html).  A number of providers are available in this repo, but there are also many providers available at the [ECF github organization](https://github.com/ECF).
+
+ECF is currently the RS/RSA implementation used by the [OSGi Test Compatibilty Kit (TCK)](https://github.com/osgi/osgi)
+
+### Eclipse Install/Update File Transfer
+ECF has an API called 'filetransfer' that is depended upon by the [Eclipse platform](https://github.com/eclipse-platform)
+
+## ECF Github Organization
+In addition to this repo, ECF also has an [ECF Organization with a number of other repos](https://github.com/ECF) containing Remote Services distribution and discovery providers (e.g. grpc, etcd discovery, hazelcast, others). Most of these repos provide distribution or discovery providers that depend upon the core implementation provided by this repo.
