[vimplugin-devel] Eclipse hangs waiting to connect to vim server, wrong port?

[Chris L. <chr...@gm...>]

My system runs Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit i386. I have Eclipse 3.2, installed from
the Ubuntu repositories. I installed Vimeclipse following the directions at
http://vimplugin.org/installation. I associated *.py files with Vim
following the directions. When I open a Python file, however, Eclipse hangs.
At the console I get the following messages.

$ eclipse
searching for compatible vm...
  testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found

I did some further digging via ps. It seems that Vimeclipse is starting the
server on port 3220, but the default is port 3219. This means, I think, that
Vimeclipse is starting the server on a different port than it is trying to
listen to one on.

Can anyone confirm this, and possibly provide a fix for this bug?

Thanks,
Chris
