Trying to connect to MSN I'm receiving the following error in the log file: !ENTRY org.eclipse.ecf.ui 4 4 2007-06-20 19:15:25.015 !MESSAGE Connect to abc failed. !SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.ecf.identity 4 0 2007-06-20 19:15:25.015 !MESSAGE !STACK 0 java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.ecf.protocol.msn.Session.openSocket(Session.java:126) at org.eclipse.ecf.protocol.msn.Session.<init>(Session.java:106) at org.eclipse.ecf.protocol.msn.DispatchSession.<init>(DispatchSession.java:53) at org.eclipse.ecf.protocol.msn.MsnClient.connect(MsnClient.java:137) at org.eclipse.ecf.internal.provider.msn.MSNContainer.connect(MSNContainer.java:299) at org.eclipse.ecf.ui.actions.AsynchContainerConnectAction$AsynchActionJob.run(AsynchContainerConnectAction.java:127) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55) I believe this might be due to proxy settings on platform level not being honored.
I'm afraid I'm not as hot with Java networking as I should be (being on the ECF team and all), but so how would I go about making a connection to messenger.hotmail.com at port 1863 through a proxy?
Just remembered we also have bug 181544.
Here's a possibly useful ref: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip42.html Andreas are you using system properties like this? System.getProperties().put( "proxySet", "true" ); System.getProperties().put( "proxyHost", "myProxyMachineName" ); System.getProperties().put( "proxyPort", "85" ); And does your proxy have authentication? (i.e. username/password)? RE: bug 181544, that refers to a different sense of 'platform', if I'm understanding this bug report correctly. i.e. bug 181544 is referring to Eclipse 3.3 proxy settings, whereas this one is referring to jre 'platform' proxy settings...I think...that's why I asked the above. Eventually (i.e. post Europa) we will move everything over to use the Eclipse 3.3 proxy settings/API.
Remy, didn't mean to bash on your skills. Just my first-time ECF user experience. I'm using the Eclipse workbench, not RCP- therefore no system properties manually set. I was sort of expecting that the installed examples would honor the workbench preferences (as does update, mylar etc). Makes sense?

I was sort of expecting that the installed examples > would honor the workbench preferences (as does update, mylar etc). Makes sense? No offense taken. The protocol was something I whipped out in a month or two back in 2005 with some additional work in late 2007 for slight fix-ups a long time ago for fun, so I never really considered the whole proxy issue (since I don't use proxies to connect to the outside world). Anyway, so from your workbench statement, I presume you are actually not using the Java System properties as Scott had thought in comment #3.
Correct. Unless Eclipse workbench sets these- no. I'm not even writing code- just using the plugin as end user.

*** Bug 238394 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I don't think that we are going to be able to continue to support the msn provider, given the limited resources/committer involvement that ECF currently has...and the change in technical focus for the project (toward OSGi Remote Services support). Consequently, I'm going to resolve this as wontfix. If resources become available for work on this, then please reopen.
