No need for that so far ;-)

Pfuh, maybe not the worst idea at all. If the CIC guys are not able to come up with something reasonable we can define the g-Eclipse style of that field in order to satisfy our users. Anyways, a plain separated server list may not be enough. I would prefer a structuring similar to:
[type]:[protocol]://FQHN:port
ie
info(or better bdii?):ldap://myserver:8888
separated by whatever character. The type field allows g-Eclipse to determine the type of service. Should be not too hard to implement and should be backward compatible with the old form (which is just a single entry of the for protocol://FQHN:port).
Cheers, Mathias
