getHosts() doesn't get the local host on startup/first call - should it? [message #714969]

I am using RSE to connect to remote hosts and I keep the name of the remote host across sessions.

The problem I am seeing is that I have selected the "Local" host to do some testing. I stop the Eclipse and restart. I eventually try to do some remote profiling via my code. It knows it should be using the host with name "Local" so it uses SystemStartHere to get the registry and from there it asks for the hosts via getHosts(). At that point, it is getting 0 hosts returned and eventually my code flags an error because it can't find the local host (or any host for that matter).

However, later on, the local host magically shows up. My listener is called and I then see there is one host: the local host. I didn't perform any RSE UI action between the initial call and when the local host shows up.

So, there seems to be some timing issue. Is there some recommended logic to make sure that the hosts are successfully loaded by a given time?
