Build Identifier: 20100917-0705 At the moment, the only way to save configuration information (remote platform, username, password, etc) is to cleanly close Eclipse - which causes problems if Eclipse does not close cleanly (ie, crashes) - IT would be good if we could add the ability to save this configuration information manually - Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set up remote connection 2.crash eclipse 3.observe that remote connection information previously set up is ogne
Created attachment 213072 [details] proposed patch of remote connection wizard This proposed patch calls the method in TargetEnvironmentManager responsible for persisting remote connection information to disk when a new connection is created. The write is called inside the performFinish method of EnvironmentWizard. Otherwise, this information only gets written when eclipse exits cleanly. The only drawback is that Eclipse's Secure Storage might be displayed because the write method accesses ISecurePreferences.
Service configurations are no longer used as we have transitioned to the new remote services framework. Remote connection configuration information is now persisted to preferences whenever an IRemoteConnectionWorkingCopy is saved, so unless Eclipse crashes while creating the connection, it should be ok now. I'm closing this as fixed, but feel free to reopen if you have any concerns.
