Alex -
I checked the fix in already. It is a very simple
fix, and I tested it pretty well. The daily VTP build has not been updated with
the change, however. So if you wish to use it, you will have to rebuild the
plugin from source. The only plugin affected is
org.eclipse.vtp.dialer.skype
I understand your comment about getting previous
versions of Skype. I encountered that problem last year, and decided that
whenever I download a new version I add the version number to the filename of
the zip file, and that way I keep several older versions around. Uninstalling
Skype and reinstalling an older version works fine for testing. I have done that
many times.
In this case, you should not need to check out
against an older version. Skype 2.5 and 3.0 behave the same with respect to what
the plugin does.

Mike,
Thank you. I will try
to start testing as much as I can, just trying to help out.
The thing with Skype
is, once you upgrade, it is hard to find a trustworthy/reliable source to
download previous versions.

I would love to give Alex Zhang a
fix, but I have not worked out all the issues yet. The main issue with Skype
version change was the launcher code did not recognize the start of the Skype
phone call. That causes it to hang and eventually give an error dialog about
not connecting in 60 seconds.
I have a fix for that, but now I
find that the code is no longer getting the log from Tellme. It may turn out
to be just that I am so far away out here across the ocean that something
times out. I see that happen a lot from Firefox when I try to access web
pages in the US, and getting the log from Tellme
is nothing more than a series of HTTP requests. I have to investigate what is
going on with that.
Hmm, thinking on the fly as I
write this, maybe I could commit that fix and someone in the
US could run a quick test. It will
be a good lesson for me as to how to accommodate the longer latency -- if that
turns out to be all it is.
If I check the fix in for the
Skype connection (I have tested it), can someone rev the daily build?
Right now the daily build has not been happening very daily. I will post to
this list after I check in.
a) My committer account into CVS
has been revived, and I can check in/out.
b) I don't seem to be able to
update bugzilla anymore. Procedures say contact the PL, so I
have.
c) Someone asked about the effect
of Skype 3.0. I have determined that Skype 2.5 and Skype 3.0 behave
identically in all the aspects that affect this
operation.
d) I have only tested this fix
with Eclipse 3.2.1. I can make no comment about
3.3.0M4.

Actually I am just
about to complain. :>
I am using Eclipse
3.3.0M4, EVT 1.0.0, and Skype 3.0.0.198. And I followed the exact
steps in the Getting Started tutorial. When I click Run, I got the
status Launching (50%) for ever. I guess this is related to the bug
or a version incompatible issue.
Can anyone give me
a working version combination, including eclipse, wtp, vtp, and skype?
Thank
you,

Back in August, reports were
received that the VTP Tellme browser launcher plugin did not work with Skype
2.5.
I figured out what the problem
was and suggested a fix. Brent went ahead and put that fix into the code and
checked it in. The trouble is that I was in the throes of retiring and
leaving Tellme, and Brent was in the throes of leaving IBM. I think we both
got distracted, and the fix was not tested.
Well, it did not work, and still
does not work.
I plan to fix it for real. But
since I have been inactive for about 6 months while I moved to New
Zealand, my Eclipse accounts have gone
stale. I have to get that sorted.
Since there have been no
complaints, I suppose this has not been a heavily-used component ;-), but it
is part of the project, and should work.
