ASSERT: have 2 OpenShift servers (ex. 1x minishift, 1x cdkv2) and 2 connections in the explorer EXEC: have a server adapter that's publishing to server1 (ex. cdk v2) EXEC: turn server1 off (ex. cdk v2), turn server2 on (ex. minishift) EXEC: restart Eclipse EXEC: open the server editor for your adapter ASSERT: the only setting that's set is the connection to server1. All other settings are empty EXEC: switch the connection to minishift Result: Nothing happens. The editor wont get dirty, the connection is actually not switched either. If you try to search for a service you get an error dialog and an empty wizard, because it still tries to load from the server that off (cdkv2)
