Can you reopen the case or should I create another one?
Jan Blok:
reopen please, but how does this bother you? (aside from the fact its not nice)
Hi Jan,
Thanks for asking.
I like to do all my work inside one IDE (that’s what and IDE is after all!).
I used to work inside MyEclipse, a very rich Eclipse distribution (that you surely know of), with lots of different development tools.
Now that I’m working in Servoy all the time, I’d like to have the tools I work with inside the same IDE, to do Java development, UI prototyping, and DB design.
If you need to know I also use Servoy for java and plugins/beans development, Azzurri Clay plugin and Aquarius ORM Studio for DB design, WireFrameSketcher for UI prototyping. I also use a tiny plugin called “Open extern” to allow me to open a folder in explorer directly from the Eclipse UI.
That’s why I am concerned: If the Eclipse install is not clean you end up having problems in third party plugins, so even if I have not encountered real big problems yet, I just want you to be aware of the state of the Servoy distribution and pay attention to it.
Until maybe one day Servoy will be disributed as a real Eclipse plugin…
Are there any known issues on code completion.
We really love the speed improvement and many other fixes, but we’re really set back in time on code completion /code coloring.
Sometimes it works, but suddenly - for some reason - it doesn’t…
We’re getting a lot of these errors:
SocketAcceptor failure for socket: 1327a83[SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5: Socket[addr=/24.130.207.75,port=57578,localport=1099]]
java.io.EOFException: SocketAccepter[0]- didnt get any uncompressed data (23861)

that is weird,
I guess that is the client where you get those exceptions?
Are you sure that the server is started correctly? And that there are no port conflicts or something with another server instance?
Because the client expects compressed data but it does get uncompressed data from the server. But that server should also compress.
So first make sure that you do talk to 1 instance of a server and that there isnt one hanging around else play a bit with the settings on;
ohh i think it is a server error (accepting sockets)
Are there clients still open that are from 4.1.2 and those are trying to connect constantly to a 4.1.3 server?
Thanks Johan. This is an error the server. There shouldn’t be any clients as I shut down the server to do the update. But, could it be clients that lost their internet and the 4.2.1 client is still running trying to connect?
I’ll get about 3 of these errors in a second.
Also, I have no idea what IP that is… other than it’s an IP for comcast… and ISV here in the states.
