Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) + Coldfusion RDS Plugin

Hi,

Just tried to upgrade my Eclipse to 3.5 and install the coldfusion RDS plugin. I have been using an older version with no issues. When I point my new eclipse to the old workspace, I can test all of the saved RDS connections and the connect fine. However, when trying to use the rds filebrowser, Eclipse freezes up and eventually crashes.

Any Insight?

Thanks In Advance.

I, too, have Eclipse Galileo. My RDS Fileview didn't crash. It didn't work either. Whenever I attempted to open it, it just got stuck, displaying "Contacting Server...".

Here is how I convinced it to work.

1) Follow the menu Window => Show View => Other

2) Click on the + next to the Coldfusion group to expand it.

3) Click on RDS Fileview and press OK.

4) The RDS Fileview tab should appear, with the list of RDS servers in it. This assumes you did configure RDS. Did you? If you didn't, RDS Fileview wouldn't work.

My server, Localhost, appeared in the tab. When I click on the + next to it, expecting to see the tree of files, I instead see the message "Contacting Server...".

5) The workaround I found was to right-click on Localhost and then select Go Into. All the drives on the RDS server are then displayed, by letter.

6) When I click on the + next to C:\, expecting to see the files in the drive, I instead get the familiar message, Contacting Server...".

7) It is onlly when I right-click on C:\ and then select Go Home that I finally see the files in the RDS server.

Hope it helps.

I just tried installing CFbuilder on my galileo install, and the RDS dataview works fine. The RDS fileview however, crashes in the exact same manner.
