Eclipse and Windows XP SP 2 [message #267068]

All,

I found this link
( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=884130&pr oduct=windowsxpsp2)
, which says that Eclipse might behave differently when running under SP 2.
Does anybody know more about this?

All I have noticed is that when you start the Help system you get a
Firewall warning. You appear to get this with any Windows app that
listens on a socket. You can then just press a button to tell the
Firewall to unblock the program.

It does not seem necessary to unblock the program (javaw). Help works fine
for me, even with javaw being blocked. I guess the firewall is smart enough
not to block local connections.

Konrad,

Of course, by not unblocking it you'll naturally kill the automatic update
mechanism too.

ok?

It does not seem to prevent update for me. Automatic update opens outgoing
connections, and windows firewall does not seem to care about these.

That's because the XP firewall only prevents incoming connections. Outgoing
connections are all fine. Which also means that you can't prevent ANY app
from calling home. I wouldn't use the XP firewall but another product
(Kerio,
Zone Alarm, Norton, whatever).
