What kind of error message do you get and what is the server url? If it
is ecftcp://ecf.eclipse.org:3282/server I am not the server is up and
running. So you might want to try connecting to your own instance of ECF
generic server.

I assume you red my post via a cell phone because I pasted an image of the error message.
and it is that URL, and I'd love to connect to my own instance of ECF, but that's a whole other problem: I'm running linux and there are only instructions for eclipse.exe for running a ECF server.

If you (or anyone else, don't be shy Very Happy

) can guide me through on any of these problems I will very much appreciate it.

Odd, I don't see an image nor an indicator and I am using Thunderbird
with HTML activated. I assume you used http://eclipse.org/forums to post
your message and the nntp bridge cannot handle images.

Anyway, if possible please provide a text dump of the error, especially
what shows up in the "details" part of the dialog. But I just checked,
ecf.eclipse.org does not run the ECF generic server. The wiki has been
updated.

On Linux there exists also a binary launcher called "eclipse". That is
basically all you have to change when you want to run the server on Linux.

Tom,

See the product configurations in this bundle

org.eclipse.ecf.server.generic

This bundle is located here in the source code repository:

server-side/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.server.generic

OR if you've got the ECF Helios installed, you can import this plugin
directly into your workspace.

Within the bundle, there is a product configuration file:

products/Generic Server Equinox App.product

This product configuration will let you run/debug an ECF generic server
(on localhost or wherever you choose)...and you can also use it to build
and package (aka export) a platform-specific runnable. To do this you
may need to change the Generic Server Equinox App.product
configuration...i.e. to build/export properly for your platform.

First of all I would like to apologize it took me so long to respond back. I tried to upgrade my Ubuntu distro in hope it will fix some problems, it ended up just causing more.

now, for the error message in text form:
Title:
"Connection failed"

Content:
"Could not connect to ecftcp://ecf.eclipse.org:3282/server
Reason:
exception during connection to ecftcp://ecf.eclipse.org:3282/server"

Details:
"Connection refused"

and about Scott's post, I am very sorry for the ignorance but could you please guide me step by step from the main window in eclipse, because I really don't know where to find this bundle.
tnx.

There is no server running at ecftcp://ecf.eclipse.org:3282/server You
will have to setup your own instance as described in the wiki [0].
