Summary: FTP plugin will freeze on bad password

Initial Comment:
The FTP Plugin freezes JEdit entirely for me when a bad
password is entered connecting to an ftp site for files
that I currently have open and am trying to load at
jEdit startup. It seems like it might be a good idea to
have the FTP plugin start up a separate thread to
connect to the remote ftp server, and monitor that
thread for inactivity, then kill it if it can't connect
after a configurable timeout. Also, suppose I am using
sftp and the ssh daemon is dead. This will cause the
same IO bind as the bad ftp password. I never have an
option to cancel the connection or retry it with a
different configuration. It would be nice.
