[xwiki-devs] XEclipse - problem connecting to local XWiki

[Enygma]

Hello XWiki users and developers.

My name is Eduard Moraru and I'm going to apply this year for Google Summer of Code at XWiki on the project XWiki Offline.
I am planning on embedding this project in the already existing XEclipse on which I've understood there is already some work done.

My problem is that I tried out XEclipse (xwiki-eclipse-rcp-linux-gtk-x86-1.1.zip and xwiki-eclipse-1.1.zip) on a local installation of XWiki (xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-1.3.jar) using both user Admin and a new test user and did not manage to connect to the wiki.
I then tried to connect to xwiki.org using a newly registered account and it worked perfectly.

On the local installation, XEclipse pops an exception which I can't get past:

org.xwiki.eclipse.model.XWikiConnectionException:org.xwiki.eclipse.model.impl.XWikiDAOException:org.codehaus.swizzle.confluence.SwizzleConversionException:java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "mer. juil. 11 18:57:54EEST 2007"

I also posted a bug on JIRA at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XECLIPSE-100 regarding this issue but I figured on the mailing list I'd get faster feedback.

My question is: Am I doing something wrong with my local installation? Are there some other privileges to give that I left out?

At a first look, I`d say It`s a hardcoded date "mer. juil. 11 18:57:54 EEST 2007"(it's always the same), left there during development, but I`m not sure if it`s on the XEclipse side or the XWiki side.

Thank you very much for your time and I await your suggestions.
