Problems using Eclipse plugin

[jsiegmund]

Hello,

we have a Fortress server setup which we use frequently using the Fortress GUI client and the Visual Studio plugin. Now our other development team, which program Progress software, was planning to try out Fortress to see if it fits their needs. I setup a seperate repository and granted the test member of the team access to that repository.

He installed the GUI client and it connected fine. But when it came to the Eclipse client, nothing worked for some reason. We've downloaded the latest version of the client and installed it but we don't have a clue on how to use it. If he opens the Item Tracking window; a login popup displays but logging in won't work. The following error is logged:

Code: Select all

Caused by: System.Exception: The connection to the server failed: server cannot be contacted or uses a protocol that is not supported by this client. Unable to connect to https://sourcecontrol.datamex.nl/VaultService.  No server was found at the specified URL.  Please verify your network settings using the Options dialog under the Tools menu in the Vault GUI Client.  Web Exception:  ---> System.Exception: Unable to connect to https://sourcecontrol.datamex.nl/VaultService.  No server was found at the specified URL.

In the configuration menu, all config tabs display that there's nothing to configure because there's no connection. We tried to find documentation on how to use this plugin, but we can't seem to find any. Could you please help us find our way so I can show my coworkers that Fortress is an excellent tool for source control management.

I see from the url that you're using ssl. You'll need to follow the instructions here before you can connect with Eclipse: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic ... 13&t=10526

If you open the help contents in Eclipse, there should be a section for Fortress that has some getting started information.
