+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #195170 +++ When I create an SSH session on the remote through RSE, I'd like to be able and launch programs such as xterm on the remote such that I can see the remote X app on my local display. I'd like this feature to work easily and without configuration effort, just like the commandline "ssh" client automatically forwards X11. Initial comments for this feature as well as an initial contribution is available from bug 195170 comment 9 and on.
Hello John-Paul, I think it's a pity that the discussion about your X port forwarding contribution got somehow stalled on bug 195170. We'd still really appreciate your contribution, but unfortunately so far the feature failed for most of us (Anna, Dave M, myself - all from 3 different organizations but none of us got it working). Do you think you could invest into getting this finally working? Thanks! Martin

At the moment it's a little stalled due to work load been spent on other things. Still want to see this working though, so will be coming back to it.
If I do an "xhost +", then I can launch my xterm from the SSH terminal. Thus, I suspect the problem is in the code that deals with setting X host and X port.
Bulk move of deferred feature requests to 3.4
CQ:WIND00332347
Shall we give this another try for 3.4 ? With Juno, with now have JSch-0.1.46 ; but according to the JSch release notes, there was another bugfix afterwards in 0.1.47: Changes since version 0.1.46: - bugfix: failed to initialize channels for the stream forwarding. FIXED
I'll retest.

FIXED This was really a showstopper bug in the JSch lib version 0.1.46 for several use case. It would be great if the JSch lib in the Eclipse packages will be updated with a newer version.
Are there any news regarding the X11 forwarding feature? I didn't find any option in the newest eclipse / rse version for X11 forwarding
Hello J R, there's no news on that feature unfortunately. Code contributions would be welcome reviving this feature!
