Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-10-19 12:48:06 EDT 
When an SSH terminal is connected to an unknown host, it prints in the Terminal:

java.net.UnknownHostException: blablablab

It should instead catch the exception and print a localizable String, like

Unknown host: blabhablab

the Termianl connector does this already.

Patch making the change

Attached patch makes the enhancement, borrowing code for translating Exceptions into readable text from the org.eclipse.team.cvs.core plugin.

It's currently fixed for SSH only (not for Telnet which likely sees similar exceptions), and it's not pretty to have the error handling code duplicated. But improvements can only be made in the next release since API would need to be touched.
