let's say it this way:
    +1 for this option
but
    +10 for first investigating if we could somehow profit from some of the 
functionality that the TM project (target management, 
http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/) offers, like the RSE (remote system 
explorer). From "outside" it looks like they have exactly that! ie, a 
layer allowing file/shell/process access to remote systems via different 
implementations (ssh, telnet, dstore, ftp,...) They also have a terminal.
It would be great if we could base on/share/reuse that code!
Could you take a look at it, or did you already investigated it and 
discarded that option?
