Eclipse/CDT Remote System Development [message #193551]

Hello!

I am new to Eclipse. So new that I have not yet even downloaded the client
to play with it, just beginning the Proof of Concept stage. I will be doing
that soon. I had a question about configuration.

I want to develop a Linux C++ application in Eclipse on my Windows PC. My
vision of an ideal configuration is to setup Eclipse to open files directly
on the Linux server or ftp them down behind the scenes, save them back on
the server (or ftp), perform the compilation (make/ant) on the server
(through the standard eclipse build button), and enable debugging remotely.

Is this currently configurable in Eclipse or is there a plug-in that will
enable me to do this?

Can anyone answer my question or at least point me to the right place to
look?

Thanks!

I would take a look at the Remote Systems Explorer (RSE) from the Device
Software Development Project (DSDP). They have a sub-project called
Target Management, of which RSE is a part.

CDT is not fully tolerant of remote files yet, but RSE is a start.

Isn't an obvious solution to start Eclipse on the remote host and redirect
the output? Just install an X server (e.g. from cygwin) and do a
$ ssh -X yourLinuxHost eclipse

It would depend on your network, but that is definitely one alternative.
If you are doing this over the Internet, it's actually disturbing to do
something like this (sorry I'm still getting the flashback of random
subwindows trying to pop up and one second delays after typing each
character :( ).

The feeling I'm starting to get is that developers may also want to work
disconnected and only transfer their files for build and debug. I think
there's exciting features we could build with the RSE and EFS to support
something like this. It would probably also lead us down the path of
doing real error reporting with our built-in parser, just like JDT does,
so you can find your compile errors before sending it to the build.

This thread is ten years old.
Has any one implemented the concept of transferring files to a remote just prior to building on the remote?
Is there a standard name for this feature?
