[ecf-dev] [salvo] Accessing Eclipse Bugzilla using XML-RPC

[Isuru Udana <isudana@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

For the requirement “Enable a way for people to create an eclipse user id within the workbench” [1], I tried to use the Bugzilla Web Service API [2] to access the Eclipse Bugzilla using Apache XML-RPC.

But I am getting the following error.

Failed to parse server's response: The declaration for the entity "HTML.Version" must end with '>'

The server URL I used is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/xmlrpc.cgi

But for the Mozilla Bugzilla I got success by using the same mechanism.

I am not sure why I couldn't connect to eclipse bugzilla.

While investigating further I found a bug which may relevant to this issue [3].

Is there any other way I can use XML-RPC to connect to Eclipse Bugzilla ?
