Description Jeffrey Overbey CLA 2010-05-17 13:08:27 EDT 
One item that has been discussed several times at NCSA/Blue Waters meetings is the desire to have Eclipse support for a new type of C/C++/Fortran project, which we're calling a "rsync-style remote project."  In this type of project, the code is stored and edited locally, e.g., on a user's laptop.  When it is time to build, however, the code is copied (rsync'd) to a remote machine (e.g., a cluster) and compiled there.  The user then runs and debugs the executable on the remote machine.

Matt Fotzler (UIUC) will be prototyping support for rsync-style remote projects in Photran.  The final code will be contributed via this bug; a wiki page has been set up to track requirements/issues in the interim: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/photran/rsync_remote_projects

Matt, could you please attach the code to this bug (Greg was interested in looking at it)?  Or was there a reason we didn't attach it?

rsync patch

I can't test this at the moment, but it's the only patch that seemed rsync related on my computer, so I think this is it.

org.eclipse.photran.rsync-remote.ui project source

I forgot, we had this project in our local Subversion repository.  The sources from trunk are attached.

To try this out, you can simply import this project into your workspace alongside the other Photran sources.  It adds an additional new project wizard.

You do not have to have the remote include paths patch (see the dependency for this bug) unless, of course, you want to try out remote Fortran INCLUDE paths.
