Can snippets be submitted back to the SnipEx server from within the Snip Tree View in Eclipse?

[K]

Hi,

I think the question in the subject speaks for itself.

Judging the description given here http://snipex.riaforge.org/, I'd
say it is supposed to be possible:
SnipEx is a XML based service that allows CFEclipse users to susbcribe
to snippet servers as well as submitting their own snippets to SnipEx
servers.

However, if I try to do this, nothing happens. If I look in the logs,
I see this error:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2010-10-30 16:58:00.232

I tried with both some public servers and also with a local server
implementation, but I cannot see any incoming request on the server
that is either asking if the server allows submits or an actual
attempt to submit a snippet.

Judging the error, I guess it already bombs out before accessing the
server.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

K.

I think I can already answer my own question: yes, you can, but the
Snip Tree view has a few bugs, so that is why I didn't spot the
functionality straight away.

Somehow, the Snip Tree View doesn't initialize it's context menu's
properly all the time. Before I didn't get any context menu when right-
clicking nodes, but somehow I managed to get them now and then off
course I can see the option to export to a SnipEx server. i have to
try to figure out what is causing the context menu's to not be shown
in the first place.

However, when I try to use the create Folder/insert snippet options
form the context menu to snippets/libraries that come from a SnipEx
server, the ClassCast exception I posted above does still happen and
thus I cannot add libs/snips to libs hosted on a SnipEx server. So the
question of that should be possible still remains.

Now, I know this is the forum for SnipEx server related stuff, so I'll
try to find the appropriate location to repost this stuff.
