View source for Newsreader/Salvo UI Integration in the workbench/Work done during May 18 to May 24

In this time period I started working on “Enable a way for people to create an eclipse user id within the workbench”. 

For the requirement, I tried to use the Bugzilla Web Service API [1] to access the Eclipse Bugzilla using Apache XML-RPC. 

But I had some issues with that approach. 

I got the following error all the time. 

''&nbsp; &nbsp; Failed to parse server's response: The declaration for the entity "HTML.Version" must end with '&gt;''' 

I used[https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/xmlrpc.cgi https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/xmlrpc.cgi] as the server URL for accessing eclipse bugzilla. 

But for the Mozilla Bugzilla I got success by using the same mechanism. 

While investigating further I found a bug which may relevant to this issue [2]. 

I stated a discussion in the ECF developer mailing list regarding this matter. 

I went through the mylyn source to find how they are accessing the eclipse bugzilla. They seems to be using the same XML-RPC technology but the they are not using the https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/xmlrpc.cgi server URL. 

My mentor updated the bug [2] to get some reply on the current situation of it. 

For now we decided to skip this feature and continue with other features.
