From Bug 205261 comment 5: We're occasionally seeing the FTP upload or download getting stuck, see bug 205261 or bug 219792. Notwithstanding the need to get these issues fixed (supposedly in Apache Commons Net), the RSE FTP Service should be checking its Progress Monitor in a Thread separate from the Commons Net upload or download, such that it can interrupt or destroy the hanging Thread if necessary: * Always spawn off a separate thread for upload or download, thereby also fixing bug 180965 to allow multiple parallel uploads/downloads (separate Thread would be a full FTP client of its own, including full Login procedure - at least for files > 20 K Bytes or so) * In the thread that was called from the outside, just update progress monitor and check for monitor.isCanceled(); do all that outside the FTP command mutex * If canceled, kill the upload thread (thereby avoiding hanging thread due to network i/o which is not checking for cancel).
This is an important enhancement in an area that's currently blocking further widespread adoption of RSE. We should try getting it in for M7!
It's clear what to do and the work seems manageable ... isn't that an ideal BugDay candidate for some newcomers to get started! Fire up Eclipse SDK, and import the Team Project Set from http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/development/rse-anonymous.psf The code to work on is all in FTPService.java and it should be fairly obvious what to do. If you're interested, comment here on the bug or assign it to yourself, to avoid multiple people fixing the same thing at the same time. When done, Team > Create patch... and attach it here... you'll get into the TM Contributors Hall of Fame on http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/development/contributors.php If there are any questions, ask here on the bug or on http://wiki.eclipse.org/IRC
Javier will you have any chance to look at this?
Javier we desparately need this. Do you have any chance to get to it this week? I'd like to have it for RC2, which is Tuesday May 27.
