How to use eclipse with ssh, so that the remote projects can be edited by local eclipse?

Question

I often use remote servers to store and run my Java projects. But this prevents me from using eclipse. So I have two questions:

1. Can I use my local eclipse manage the Java projects on the remote servers ? ( I usually use ssh to access the servers )

2. If there is a solution for question 1, then is it possible that the Java programs run on the remote server also ? (i.e. only the GUI of eclipse is shown local)

For the second question, I know ssh -X can do this (run eclipse on the remote server), but it is too slow. Any ideas?

Answer 1

RSE plugin is what you are looking for.

There is an article to introduce it.
