Hi, I'm Wondering if there is a possibility in Apex, to get the value of a particular object's property by its name (string)

f.i Im doing a lot of similar operations reading objects properties, I would like to put it thorough one fiction which will take a parameter called (fieldName) and will return the value of a field specified by this parameter.

Kind regards

Hi, I've installed Newest Eclipse with the latest realease of Force.com IDE

The problem is i keep getting timeout exception, trying to deploy even sipliest class to the server (as well as in case of refreshing project from the server)

The timeout is set to 600 sec but the connection fail is occurring after 20-30 secs.

Hese is my IDE log dump:
