Description Ralph P CLA 2011-11-15 09:24:57 EST 
Build Identifier: M20110210-1200

If Eclipse is closed while the Remote System Details view contains any remote objects, a refresh will be triggered (getChildren(...) of the parent resource).

If the user is disconnected from that system, he will be forced to connect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define an accessible connection in the Remote Systems View (e.g. "FTP Only")
2. Establish a connection without saving your password
3. Use "Show in Table" on a valid Filter which contains remote objects
4. Make sure that the Remote System Details view is visible and populated
5. Disconnect
6. Close Eclipse

Turning this option off works but that's not what the user may want. Why must the table (Remote System Details) be refreshed before closing Eclipse?

Our users were wondering why the credential dialog came up when they were closing Eclipse. Canceling the dialog re-opens it (two times).

Thanks for the quick support! I tried the patch and it works just fine! This would solve our problem!
