Re: [geclipse-user] using other EC2 api compatible Clouds - URI change 
Hi,
i edited the .properties files in the two jar-files and still when i try to connect to my S3-bucket on our local eucalyptus installation a connection is made to s3.amazonaws.com. Seems it is somewhere hardcoded as Ariel said. But it worked to change the connection for EC2 to our local eucalyptus installation. Still it seems to be incompatible as the installed images are not found and shown in g-eclipse. Is there a way to specify a certificate for the communication with the EC2 service? It seems that g-eclipse uses the EC2_ACCESS_KEY and EC2_SECRET_KEY but not the *.pem files? And i think eucalyptus needs the *.pem file for communication.
Thanks for the help anyway and i will wait for an updated version that clarifies the compatibility with other EC2-API-Cloning cloud setups. 

greets
Simon

Hi Simon,
we don't have access to an Eucalyptus installation, therefore we couldn't test our software in this environment so far. But I am personally interested in seeing this happen.
We already thought about a possibility to change the URLs of the endpoints, but you were looking in the wrong places. All endpoint URLs are defined in simple property files (they are not hardcoded!) and you can even modify the text in the dialog boxes and wizard.
I am not sure about your Eclipse experience... just tell me if you have problems understanding the following:
Bundle eu.geclipse.aws.ec2_...jar contains a file plugin.properties with 

  ec2ServiceCreator.source.pattern = https://ec2.amazonaws.com/
  ec2ServiceCreator.service.name = Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

Bundle eu.geclipse.aws.s3_...jar contains a file plugin.properties

  s3ServiceCreator.source.pattern = https://s3.amazonaws.com/
  s3ServiceCreator.service.name = Simple Storage Service (S3)
If you have downloaded one of our packages, you can find those .jar files in the eclipse/plugins/ directory. 

Keep me updated about your progress ;-)

Thanks and regards,
Markus

Hi,
I am a new g-eclipse user and wanted to test it with our local Eucalyptus installation (http://eucalyptus.cs.ucsb.edu/) which is API compatible with Amazon EC2 and S3. As the URI for EC2 and S3 in the VO dialog can not be changed (they are just shown there) i tried to modify them in the files:
.metadata/.plugins/eu.geclipse.core/.vos/Eucalyptus/ eu.geclipse.aws.ec2.service.ec2ServiceCreator/.ec2_service_properties .metadata/.plugins/eu.geclipse.core/.vos/Eucalyptus/ eu.geclipse.aws.s3.service.s3AWSServiceCreator/.s3_service_properties
To the local service addresses where eucalyptus is running. The VO dialog now shows the correct internal endpoints (http://192.168.64.187:8773/services/Walrus and http://192.168.64.187:8773/services/Eucalyptus) Still when i try to connect to EC2 or S3 trough the g-eclipse gui i notice outgoing connections to *.amazonaws.com and then an authentication error (as my keys are for eucalyptus and not amazon). i would like to know if there is an other way to change the service- URIs or if this is simply not supported by g-eclipse?
