Selecting Indvidiual Custom Labels in Eclipse Force.com IDE

Workaround for managing individual custom labels in Eclipse Force.com IDE

Unfortunately the Force.com IDE does not yet support individual custom label selection even though the UI does. There is a bug/issue filled so please upvote it at this link Selection of individual `CustomLabels` not working There is a workaround however.

One must manually update the `package.xml` and specify the metadata member `CustomLabel` (no s at the end) and the individual labels like so. Also ensure you don't have the labels node selected through the Eclipse Force.com IDE UI, that is there should not be an entry in your `package.xml` for member `CustomLabels`. One annoying caveat of this is to edit `CustomeLabels.labels` you must be in offline ('Right click root project > Force.com > Work Offline') mode otherwise it get's still refreshed from the server.

   <types> 
       <members>Label_1</members>
       <members>Label_2</members>
       <members>...</members>
       <name>CustomLabel</name> 
   </types>

Softeher 'Error occurred. (Error code: 2)' sollution

Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server. The Softether server by default to run on port 443 , if you server also hosts normal https then 443 is already taken and so Softether can't bind to it. When you run `vpncmd` it attempts to connect, find an active port, but of course fails with 'Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server.' because it's not actually connecting to the vpn server. By default Softether also listens on 992 , 1194 , and 5555 so the sollution is to modify specify `localhost:5555` when executing the `vpncmnd`.
