Re: [dsdp-tm-dev] Status of core/ui separation?

Martin,

We're looking at using RSE to handle PTP's resource manager  
connections to remote hosts, and need to be able to run commands on  
these machines, read stdin/stdout from the commands, possibly  
transfer files, etc. All of this will happen largely without user  
intervention, so we don't need the RSE perspective or views. PTP will  
be responsible for the views used to manage the connections, and  
persisting the connection information. We also don't really want  
users to have to worry about the notion of system profiles either,  
just the host name of the remote machine.

I guess the ultimate objective is to make accessing services on  
remote machines no different than if the machine is local. This also  
applies to the editing/building/indexing activities of CDT. Sure the  
user will have to choose the type of project model they want to use  
in a new project wizard page (edit locally/build remote, edit/build  
remote, etc.) but once they've made this choice, the UI should not  
look any different. I don't know if this is feasible or not, but I  
think it's where we need to be aiming.
