Hi Janet,
We also had a problem with the Eclipse UI and accessing packages under V18. There were two things we had to do resolve the issue. The first was to change the URL we were using for the repository.
Under V17 it was: https://tomcat_url:port/axis2/ under V18 it should be https://tomcat_url:port/
The second thing we had to do was to add an addtional transport receiver in axis2.xml . CA Support confirmed this should be in the documentation.
I have attached 2 text files as I cannot get the cut and paste to work with my browser
After we did these things then the Eclipse UI worked correctly with SSL.
