Description Jessica 2013-04-22 04:33:02 UTC

Our remote communication is based on RSE and supported services.  Currently the extension is mainly used in remote tools plug-in.  To allow supporting other remote communication, e.g. in bitbake commander and ADT for remote projects interaction, we need to refactor the code to create a common remote communication utility plug-in that other feature plugins that need to do remote communication just to include these plug-in in the dependence list.  This will dramatically reduce code duplication and easy to maintain.

Hi Jessica,
Is there an update regarding this feature?

Comment 2 Ioana Grigoropol 2013-07-24 09:51:35 UTC

There are still some patches that need to be merged upstream in order to be merge these changes onto master.
Follow this upstream bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411343
The implementation for this feature is on eclipse-poky branch common-remote-refactor2.

Comment 3 Alexandru Georgescu 2013-07-25 08:47:20 UTC

Hi Jessica, Ioana,

Do we know when upstream changes will be merged? 
Also, please note that the target milestone is M1 and should be changed since we are post M1.

Thanks,
Alex.

Comment 4 Jessica 2013-08-05 23:18:40 UTC

the code is commited int http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/eclipse-poky-kepler/commit/?id=73cb94acdc81fd876c7da1c49334da9e714b11ee

Comment 5 Jessica 2013-08-05 23:30:37 UTC

we don't have control over upstream even though we've been continue pinging them

Comment 6 Jessica 2013-08-21 21:31:14 UTC

Upstream will merge our patch to 3.6 which is for post Kepler release, so this one can't happen for 1.5

Hi Jessica,
Are there any updates for  this feature?

Comment 8 Martin Oberhuber 2014-09-21 07:55:10 UTC

Note that with Eclipse Luna, the PTP project (version 8.0) has introduced new API in org.eclipse.remote that AFAIK is designed to do exactly this: provide a generic API for remote connections that does not depend on RSE but supports different adapters / providers.

With my patch attached to bug 6251 , the org.yocto.bc.ui plug-in is updated to using the new API. Remaining work would be getting rid of any direct references to RSE and replace them with respective reference to org.eclipse.remote.core / org.eclipse.remote.ui where possible.

Comment 9 Martin Oberhuber 2014-09-21 07:58:37 UTC

(In reply to comment #2)
According to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411343 ,
those upstream changes have also been released with Eclipse Luna so this 
should not be blocked any more.

Status should now be "IN PROGRESS IMPLEMENTATION" I guess since some changes already exist on the eclipse-poky branch common-remote-refactor2.

Comment 10 Todor Minchev 2015-04-28 14:57:04 UTC

The current design is to run Eclipse in the development VM and therefore there are no plans to implement remote project support.
