Many of us use a version-control system to share code across
geographies. There might be a solution to your problem, but I thought
I'd make the suggestion.

There are many to choose from including CVS (which is becoming
obsolete), Subversion, Git, Mercurial, etc. each with varying levels of
support from within Eclipse.
I personally use Git from my Linux command line. I host it either myself
(at work), from GitHub (also at work) or Atlassian Bitbucket (for free,
at home). I also use Subversion at home (I'm moving to Git, however).
Here are some articles on these. Your special wiggle is the use of
Macintosh; I can't help too much there, but I know you can use any of
these from there. Being up on Mac stuff isn't relevant to me, so I don't
cover it. My articles typically cover Linux and Windows use specifically.

Eclipse maintains a forum for Subversive, an alternative to Subclipse
(ironically) which I prefer though I've used the other too. There is
also an Eclipse Git (called "egit") forum; I prefer the Linux command
line probably because (like you, Mr. COBOL/RPG) I'm a very ancient guy
(ALGOL, Modula-2, Ada, Pascal and that was before 20+ years in C/assembly).
Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to contact me directly if you'd like to
take this off-line.
