Eclipse can't find MetaEdit+ 's API

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The API Server log in your post above shows MetaEdit+ is receiving the API commands from Eclipse, and responding to them correctly. Eclipse has continued with the conversation, so at least at that point everything was working correctly. Since I don't know what your network settings should be, it's hard to help from this end. Each command in the log took only 3-5 milliseconds, so obviously no danger of timeouts. It looks like your settings were better before your last changes. 

Although you might have needed to get the proxy settings right for Eclipse to be able to download and install the plugin from the update site, after installation neither MetaEdit+ nor the plugin wants or needs a proxy, since all API communication is within this one PC anyway. The only time you need to make proxy settings when using the API are if your PC is already set up to use a proxy, and it is incorrectly routing even your local communication via the proxy (which will at least be slow, and may well decide not to pass the packets back).

Looking at your netstat screenshot, the MetaEdit+ end of the API conversation uses the localhost IP 127.0.0.1 whereas the Eclipse end uses your PC's name. You could try changing the plugin settings to use your PC's name rather than localhost (and if you use a proxy, add an exception for that name).

Since it's a Sunday, I'm assuming you're at home. Generally you wouldn't need a proxy at all at home. Try turning off your proxy in IE and Eclipse, and turning off any VPNs. If your anti-virus has firewall functionality too, make sure that isn't getting in the way. The simpler you can keep things, the easier it is to see what is going on.

	Hello Steve, I'm not so used to these proxy things. However it looks like that you did your best to explain every possible incidents ,which might have caused this problem,but I didn't get it! Is there a possibility to recap it to a simpler way so I can follow it? I appreciate if you skip the causes instead accentuating the possible solutions/adjustments!

	Unfortunately the solution depends on the problem... Let me just reiterate my main suggestions: Turn off the proxy in Internet Explorer Turn off proxying in Eclipse (use 'Direct') Exit Eclipse and MetaEdit+ Start Eclipse, and from the plugin start MetaEdit+ Good luck!
