1. ASSERT: make sure that you have a connection to an OpenShift server that is NOT running
2. EXEC: restart your eclipse and unfold the connection
3. ASSERT: a child "Loading...." is appearing below the connection item in the OpenShift Explorer
4. EXEC: look at the status bar and the Progress view to inspect what the job is reporting

Result:
The job is reporting "Load Project" which is not very insightful. I'd expect something like "Loading resources for server 10.1.2.2:8443..."
