Eclipse plugin does not notice already running server

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start the JsTestDriver server from command line
2. Open eclipsen and notice the server line says NOT RUNNING
3. Click the green arrow to try to start the server

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The plugin would connect to the existing server instance, or prompt and say
that "service already running on port xxxx, please stop it and try again".
Currently nothing happens.  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

JsTestDriver: 1.0b
OS: Mac OSX 10.5.8
Java: 1.6

Please provide any additional information below.

Actually I would like to see a configuration option in this plugin where I could
define an already running server. Not just on same machine, but maybe another 
server
as well.

We had some discussions on how to handle remote servers, and we decided to skip 
support for it in the initial version. The problem with remote servers was that 
currently, 
the code has no way of figuring out what browsers are captured on a remote 
server. I 
think we have some ideas to get this working, and plan to aim for it in the 
next major 
release of the plugin. But yes, the error atleast should be prominent.
