Re: [ptp-dev] PTP remote abstraction layer 
I'm still working on the details, but here's the current plan:
1. The existing org.eclipse.ptp.core.AbstractProxyRuntimeClient.startupProxyServer() and shutdownProxyServer() will become abstract methods.
2. I'll provide an implementation of these methods in org.eclipse.ptp.remote.AbstractRemoteProxyRuntimeClient.
3. RM's that want to use remote services (ORTE, LSF, MPICH2, etc.) will extend this class instead of extending the existing AbstractProxyRuntimeClient.
4. I'll also provide an abstract wizard page that an RM can extend to select a remote services provider, select/create a connection, etc. 

The remote abstraction layer provides the following:

1. A remote services abstraction for the following services:
a. Remote process execution (IRemoteProcess and IRemoteProcessBuilder) 

  b. Remote file management (IRemoteFileManagement)

  c. Remote connection management (IRemoteConnectionManagement)

2. A default implementation for local-only services.
To add support for a particular remote system, a plugin must extend the org.eclipse.ptp.remote.remoteServices extension point. I've provided a plugin that does this for RSE. Basically this plugin must map the abstraction layer to the actual remote implementation 

Let me know if you need any more information.

Greg,

It looks like all of this has been created in
org.eclipse.ptp.remote.  Could you give me a run-through
on how it hooks into the RM system?

Here are some requirements for an initial remote abstraction layer
for PTP:

1. Remote command execution. Execute an arbitrary command on a remote
system. The remote command should extend the Process class, making
stdin, stdout and stderr available via separate Streams.

Suggested interface:

public class RemoteProcess extends Process;

RemoteProcess p = Remote.exec(IRemoteConnection conn, String cmd,
String[] args);

2. Connection management. This would provide functionality for
managing (adding/removing, etc.) IRemoteConnection's that contain the
hostname, username, password and system type (SSH, etc.) for the
connection.

3. Remote file browser. This would provide the equivalent
functionality to FileDialog on the remote machine. It is needed to
allow the user to browse for the proxy executable if necessary.

Suggested interface:

public class RemoteFileDialog extends FileDialog;

4. Remote file transfer. Allows the transfer of files between local/
remote and remote/remote connections.

Suggested interface:

This should just use the IFileStore interface.
