08 Sep 08 Eclipse RDS Problem: Contacting Server…

I've been successfully running CFEclipse on Ganymede for a week or two now, but I finally got around to just installing and setting up my ColdFusion 8 Eclipse Extensions (downloaded from the lovely coldfusionportal.org). Everything looked like it went well: "Test Connection" worked. But whenever I would double-click a folder in my RDS Fileview or Dataview I would get hung up on this "Contacting Server...".

It took a bit of googling, but I finally stumbled upon this post and I wanted to share the link love: http://www.vintagecoding.com/blog/2008/07/24/eclipse-rds-might-be-a-problem-with-ganymede/

Apparently if you click the arrow icon's in the RDS Fileview and RDS Dataview views it'll work. It's a workaround alright, but it works.
