Error on saving server Email settings

Hi All,

I got error while saving the server Email settings and it told me to check the log. After a hard search I found the following error in "./tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/jazz/eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.log":
!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.registry 4 0 2008-08-30 01:13:14.680

I'm not sure whether it's relevant. But on next try to editing the Email settings I've saved successfully... Oddly enough.

Hope the above message is useful to the developers for debugging.
