the window opens, but the form isn't generated - a plain grey box.

clearing the java prefs seems to have fixed it, thanks

I didn't answer your original question...

Hanging connections are usually due to the JDBC API being unable to
establish contact, which is often down to a simple firewall or host
naming issue. Also if you're referring to your local machine (localhost)
by its network name (myserver.mynetwork.com) in JDBC then you need to
make sure MySQL is listening for external connections as JDBC will
appear to be coming from across the network, or change your JDBC
connection to localhost or 127.0.0.1.

I'm not sure what you mean by not allowing you to see or change the
connection details? Do you mean the window just doesn't open? There is
no code at all in MartEditor that blocks users from viewing or changing
the information in the connection dialog.

cheers,
Richard

Preferences in MartEditor are stored using the Java Preferences API. The
location is OS-dependent but on my Ubuntu Linux machine it is:

~/.java/.userPrefs/org/ensembl/mart/editor/

The safest way to clear it out is to remove the entire
.java/.userPrefs/org/ensembl/mart/editor folder.

cheers,

not sure why but marteditor is hanging when I try to connect to any DBs.
JDBC is where it should be and MySQL is running, but when I open the
database connection dialogue it doesn't allow me to see or change the DB
connection details.

Is this a known issue? and could you also let me know where marteditor caches it's DB connection details so I can try running it from scratch?

thanks
