Java remote development [message #1863258] Fri, 19 January 2024 15:13 Go to next message

Hello everybody.

Does Eclipse running on Windows 10 allow development on a remote Linux host? The remote host has its own Java environment and Java projects and is accessible only via SSH (it is headless). The Windows machine does not have Java.

VSCode allows this for developing Node.js applications remotely. It also allows this for Java. Nevertheless, I wish to use an IDE that is more common in the Java world.

Thank you.

No, I don't think JDT can support something like that. It does support remote debug, but the host debugger needs Java. Of course Eclipse itself needs Java just to run.

Thank you.

From what I know, there is only so much a developer machine can do and I imagine that projects get developed remotely with the code running on capable servers.

Would you know how companies set up their Java-based workflows for large projects?

Generally the companies I know all provide their developers with sufficiently powerful machines that they can develop on their own machine.

Have you considered using "remote desktop"? You can install Eclipse on the remote Linux host and access it from your local Windows 10 machine.

Do a search for "Best Tools to Access Remote Linux Desktops."
