[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HBX-890) Invalid database connection properties causes Eclipse to crash

Invalid database connection properties causes Eclipse to crash -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HBX-890 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-890 Project: Hibernate Tools Type: Bug

Versions: 3.2beta8 Reporter: Joseph Marques

In this case the hibernate.connection.url was the issue. I had been using "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:<port>/<db>", but that caused Eclipse to crash because that just hangs. The proper syntax, for the way I've exposed my postgres installation, is one of the following: 1) jdbc:postgresql://<hostname>:<port>/<db> 2) jdbc:postgresql://<ip_address>:<port>/<db> If there was an explicit timeout for the connection attempt, and then a graceful handling of that timeout, Eclipse wouldn't have to die.
