Create with Eclipse and Remote System Explorer

First with the background ...

  • We have a Linux server that supports several projects.
  • The Clearcase server and storage are installed on this Linux server.
  • Different projects require different cross-compilers and libraries, and all of them are installed on the server.
  • The user can select different toolkits by running different scripts that export different values โ€‹โ€‹of environment variables, such as include paths and compilers.
  • The user must run cleartool to mount the repository.

  • Developers are developed in Eclipse and have two options:

    • SSH to the server and run Eclipse through X11 tunneling.
    • Install Eclipse locally on your Windows machine and invoke builds from an SSH terminal.

Now:

  • C # 1's problem is that Eclipse operations (text input, content support, etc.) are extremely lagging.
  • The problem with No. 2 is that developers need to go through extra hoops to create their code.

Here is what I tried:

This approach is great for files that don't need the special values โ€‹โ€‹of environment variables and setting up the Clearcase repository, but I couldn't figure out how to integrate all these things.

It would be great if someone could tell me how I can direct RSE to run the script (it may differ for each project) to set environment variables and run cleartool commands to mount the repository so that it can find the files.
To configure a specific view, the arguments to the cleartool command will be different for the user.

Additional information that may help:

  • I have root access to the development server.
  • The Clearcase file system maps to a drive on a Windows computer.

Thank you in advance for saving me a lot of time working with a slow network!

===================

For more information in the comments: - VOB storage is locally hosted on a Linux server. We will use SSH on the server and run Eclipse there, so the delay should not be caused by a dynamic view of the snapshots, and GUI performance seems to be a real problem. - We also mount the same view on Windows using Region Synchronizer. When running a local copy of Eclipse installed on Windows, there are no performance issues.

So, this question can probably be solved by answering any question: 1. How to improve the performance of X11, so will it be enough for Linux development? 2. How to configure Windows Eclipse to complete all the steps mentioned above when creating projects?

I came to you with a similar question, but, alas, no one answered him. However, I have an answer to your question: https://www.nomachine.com/ . This greatly speeds up the forwarding of X11.
