Target Management Home page
Mission Statement
The Target Management project creates data models and frameworks to configure and manage remote (mainframe down to embedded) systems, their connections, and their services.
The Vision
To be the Eclipse "Explorer of the Network Neighborhood", with pluggable information providers under a single, consistent UI. Interactively discover, drill down, analyze remote systems (from mainframes down to embedded systems), and provide the context for more advanced actions being plugged in to it.
The Toolkit
The core Remote System Explorer (RSE) framework integrates any sort of heterogeneous remote resources through a concept of pluggable subsystems. The base toolkit includes a Remote Files subsystem that allows transparent working on remote computers just like the local one, a shell and a processes subsystem. Other offerings include a lightweight Terminal and a Network Discovery framework.
Vendors are extending the RSE with custom subsystems for debugging, remote VNC display and other uses.
Latest Release:

The TM 2.0.3 service release includes 13 bug fixes compared to TM 2.0.2.
RSE persistence was made more robust,
SSH connections do not time out any more thanks to keepalives,
FTP connections can show hidden files, and the Terminal
optional input line got Ctrl+Space field assist for quickly accessing its history.
Includes also all TM 2.0.x fixes for Terminal and EFS issues,
and support for non-ASCII encodings over FTP or SSH.
TM 2.0.3 is 100% upward and backward compatible with TM 2.0. If you already have TM 2.0, you
can "check for updates" using the Eclipse update manager to get it.
