New Connection not added to the Navigation Panel.

If Eclipse is forecefully closed after deleting all the connections from the navigation panel, when reopening, newly added connections are not added in the navigation view, but they are created. If you try to recreate that connection, XEclipse will say it already exists.

If you reopen Eclipse, the connection will get reindexed and it will show up in the navigation panel.

The process Eclipse does when closing (saving metadata, or whatever it is), needs to be done for each new connection created to ensure consistency.

Note: This behaviour can be easily encountered while working on XEclipse, using the Run As>Eclipse Application, and after you are done, pressing the "Stop button" on the console, instead of pressing the "X" button on the XEclipse windows.
