We do have a host type which can have 2 valid configuations for the file service subsystem, SFTP and TCF. The used configuration will be switched either by the user or programatically. So far it basically works nicely except one leaves the session and restart Eclipse. On restart, the connection is not restored correctly: 1) _Both_ File service subsystem nodes are now visible under the connection MyConnection Sftp Files Files 2) If the user left the session with TCF as active configuration, after restart the active configuration is SFTP again. This might contribute to 1. Solving this problem is very critical for our product delivery.
Dave D, I'm assigning this to you since it appears to be related to persistance.
We've got the problem reproducable with a TCF file service regardless of whether the plugin was installed later or not. Will try debugging this on Monday.
I can easily reproduce with SSH + FTP as follows: 1. Create new connection of type "UNIX" In Wizard, pick "Sftp Files" subsystem. 2. Select the new connection, right-click > Properties. On Service page, switch to "FTP Files" subsystem. 3. Quit and restart RSE. --> TWO subsystems named "Files" are shown. I know quite for sure that this used to work in the past, so I'm assuming that this is a recent regression, most probably due to the fix for bug 267052. DaveD or DaveM, please fix this as soon as possible. Changed summary, previous value was: [file service] Problems restoring a connection with 2 configurations for the file service subsystem
This is probably due to bug 267052.
I've added a check in the RSEDOMImporter to see whether the subsystem configurations that are being compared are of the same service type. For a given host, if a subsystem exists for any configuration of a particular service type then we don't create a new subsystem.
Does this ensure that the correct (i.e. "currently active") subsystem gets imported? In other words, if I switch from Sftp to FTP, does this ensure that FTP gets imported?

In other words, if the setting was for FTP, then the FTP subsystem gets created before any check is made as to whether an Sftp subsystem needs to be created.
