[ptp-dev] Remote Synchronization Error

[Christopher Navarro <cmnavarr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I was trying out Jeff's new Environment Manager page (very cool 
btw), I ran across the same issue that someone else was seeing, "The 
currently displayed page contains invalid values". We tracked this down 
to a null pointer being returned from line 83 of 
EnvManagerPropertiesPage.class. This was because the isDisabled check 
for the synchronization service was returning true. I dug deeper and 
found that in Windows > Preferences > Service Configurations, the 
project I was having problems showed the synchronization service as 
disabled, I don't recall ever disabling it. I opened the Edit Service 
Configuration page, and re-enabled it with "Git Synchronization Service" 
as the provider. I restarted Eclipse since nothing happened with sync 
when I tried to force it to synchronize. After I restarted and tried to 
force it to synchronize again, I got the following error message:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2012-04-19 11:11:51.094
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Remote Synchronization".

    at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54)

My still project build properly on the remote machine (Forge), but any 
changes to source are not getting propogated. I'm not sure when 
synchronization broke for the project because it must have worked 
initially since shallow-mixed contains source errors as part of the 
tutorial. Any idea what went wrong?

Thanks,
Chris
