Neoclipse fails to connect to neo4j 2.2.0

Hi,
Neoclipse fails connecting to neo4j 2.2.0 with a runtime exception: error reading as JSON if no user and password is setup. Connection using proper user & pass works.
I suggest to change the error message to something like "Anonymous connection prohibited, please provide user and password.

The same here with 2.2.1.
At least add some message about not supported version. It is a bit frustrating and so unprofessional. Why do we need to check the commit messages to know that only 2.1.4 is supported?

Actually, in my previous message I was reporting a misleading error message when attempting to connect anonymously. Connecting to neo4j 2.2 works if you provide proper username and password or set to false the secured login parameter.

Hmm interesting, it did not work by me on windows. I'll try again, but before that I'll check the password with node.js. Maybe that was wrong, but I never got NullPointerException by invalid password in any other software. :S

I checked, the password was the problem, thx.

You may want to change security settings in neo4j, useful if your not sharing the database on a server. In conf/neo4j-server.properties, change the following setup to false. Hence, you may connect to the database without user/pass.
dbms.security.auth_enabled=false
