I tested it as well, nice work already!

On xwiki.org, I can connect using the XWikiLoginClient from [1], but I
get the following error:

=========
Exception while reading document XWiki.XWikiServerXwikiorg10
Wrapped Exception: could not load an entity:
[com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument#-373283968]
=========

This is apparently due to the fact that the class
BaseRcpHandler.getXWikiContext method is still setting the database to
"xwikitest". Removing that setting fixes the problem. There's a Jira
issue about it [2], which I'll reopen to continue the discussion.

I then ran XWiki-Eclipse against the following updated server and it
worked fine: http://mandriva.edos-project/xwiki/xmlrpc/confluence

[1] http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/UserGuide/XMLRPCExample
[2] http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-738

I'd say it's better to keep the query path as a configuration parameter
indeed, but I don't know what the others think. What would the user need
to modify that part of the URL after all?

Looking forward to editing XWiki documents from Eclipse :-)

Cheers
