Re: [geclipse-dev] new plug-ins (eu.geclipse.efs.sftp and eu.geclipse.ss

[Moritz Post <mpost@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there

This sounds like a mighty cool feature.. but currently it is a little 
bugged.

When creating a new global connection it is occasionally created as a 
file not a folder i can browse (might be geclipse related).
Not passing in a path when creating the connection produces exceptions.
When the remote server is not available, the connections throws error 
messages (dialog).

All in all pretty cool though.

I would like to see an action so that i can start an sftp connection 
from an IGridElement.


greets
Moritz
