Summary: FTP plugin will freeze on bad password

Initial Comment:
The FTP Plugin freezes JEdit entirely for me when a bad
password is entered connecting to an ftp site for files
that I currently have open and am trying to load at
jEdit startup. It seems like it might be a good idea to
have the FTP plugin start up a separate thread to
connect to the remote ftp server, and monitor that
thread for inactivity, then kill it if it can't connect
after a configurable timeout. Also, suppose I am using
sftp and the ssh daemon is dead. This will cause the
same IO bind as the bad ftp password. I never have an
option to cancel the connection or retry it with a
different configuration. It would be nice.

I find that jEdit freezes if the FTP plugin encounters any error such as
'incorrect password' but also 'incorrect host' or specifying the wrong
port. Don't suppose there's much chance of anyone else fixing this as it's
been open for so long. Unfortunately my Java's pretty rusty.

This still happens, two years later: if I misspell the password, I have to
kill jEdit with Ctrl-Alt-Del.  Details:
jEdit running on MsWindows XP, sftp'ing files from a Linux machine, jEdit
v4.2 final, ftp plugin v0.7.3.
