[MantisConnect] MantisConnect Eclipse Plugin-unable to select connections

[Shu Yi <shu...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm facing problems with MantisConnect plugin. In fact I cannot use
the connection I created for Mantis, in my view of projects and
issues.

My configurations are:
Eclipse 3.4.2 - Ganymede, under Windows XP, on intranet.

Mantis 1.1.6 on a remote server on Internet (which has a public domain name).

I downloaded MantisConnect plugin for Eclipse (although it dates from
February 2008, it is the only one available on sourcefourge). Then
installed it into my Eclipse, following its readme.

I created a connection in "Preference"


I downloaded
I defined a connection to Mantis in "Preference" then tested it with a
success message: "Version of MantisConnect WebService at 'MantisXYZ':
1.1.6" .

But then when I get into MantisConnect view, I cannt select the
connection because the list is disabled.

And, in my Eclipse's runtime log- .metatata/.log under Eclipse
workspace folder, I have many exception traces.

Could anyone please tell me what goes wrong and what I should do to fix it?

I posted the article on mantis forum and was told to send it to a
mailing list...

Thanks and happy new year.
