I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup to ask, but...
I am developing a plug-in for a project our company is working on
(O'Reilly Media). What I need to do is have the *entire* workspace
reside on a remote Linux server. Is this possible to do programmatically
via the plug-in? For example:
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getLocationURI() would return
the URI of the workspace on the Linux server. If this is possible, can
someone point me in the right direction? It seems like this should be
possible through some implementation of EFS but I'm kind of up against a
brick wall as to which.
Thanks,

Thanks for your reply. Someone emailed me and recommended a SAMBA share
and I am researching how to set that up for testing. My brain must be
fried for not thinking of it myself. If we have to, we can probably have
our students set the workspace themselves but we are trying to minimize
the frantic customer service calls and keep the frustration level down
on both sides so the more automatic we can keep it, the better. We have
a working system that handles the transfer of projects back and forth on
a project submission and grading, but it would be handy to just give
them a workspace on the server so they can work from anywhere without
any synchronization problems.
I know on a workspace change, eclipse reloads, so we would have to check
to see if it is on our workspace and if not, change it and have Eclipse
reload.
We are still in the brainstorming stage of this so nothing is set in
stone, especially since I just spent 5 months getting the current
implementation working, tested, and debugged.
Thanks again,
