Using SSH service in other subsystems [message #22649]

Hello,

I've been trying to implement a new subsystem that uses the ssh service.
However, the ssh service components are internal and their use is
restricted. I've considered modifying the source to add extension points
to the ssh plugin but I must be missing something conceptually. Can
someone please explain why this would be the wrong way to do this?

Is there a correct way to add a new subsystem that uses the existing ssh
service?

Thanks,

Cyrus

Hi Cyrus,

you have two options for achieving what you want. Either,
(a) Create a new system type and pull in the subsystem config:

<extension point="org.eclipse.rse.core.systemTypes">
<systemType id="org.eclipse.rse.tests.testSystemType"
name="Tests Only"
subsystemConfigurationIds="ssh.files" />
</extension>

or, (b) Create a new "MySShSubsystemConfiguration" and register
it against the system types you need:

<extension point="org.eclipse.rse.core.subsystemConfigurations">
<configuration category="files"

class=" org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.files.ssh.SftpFileSubSystemConfig uration "
id="org.foobar.ssh.files"
systemTypeIds="org.eclipse.rse.systemtype.ssh" />
</extension>

I have limited the examples above to the most needed properties only,
you'll need to add fields such as a name, label, icon etc -- but you see
the important point, re-use the SftpFielSubSystemConfiguration class
with a new plugin.xml extension in (b) or pull in the existing ID with
your new system type in (a).

Cheers,
