             Summary: Ability to set timeouts to ECFTransport-based connections
                 Key: JBIDE-14596
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14596
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: common/jst/core
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Beta1
            Reporter: Fred Bricon
            Assignee: Rob Stryker
             Fix For: 4.1.0.Beta2


Recent http://download.jboss.org outage showed a critical flaw in ECFTransport design. Basically, Project Example based wizards hang waiting for http connections to timeout (it's a loooong timeout by default). Moreover, these http connections can't be aborted, which causes JBIDE-14593. 

This needs to be fixed at the ECFTransport level, in order to properly support a "work offline" scenario.

So :
- a configurable timeout value should be used, when invoking the different connection methods
- canceling the download monitor should properly abort current http connection
