I don't understand the comment about subclassing 
AbstractRemoteResourceManager in order to have the resource manager wizard 
correctly look at the remote system when validating the path to my proxy. 
I have a class PEResourceManagerConfigurationWizardPage that is subclassed 
from AbstractRemoteResourceManagerConfigurationWizardPage. When that page 
of the wizard dialog is displayed and I fill in a proxy path, it expects 
that path to exist on the local system, not the remote system.

If I run the wizard, I can click the browse button for the proxy server 
executable and navigate to find the pathname of the proxy on the remote 
system. When I click OK, the pathname appears in the path to proxy server 
executable text field, but is flagged in error since no file by that 
pathname exists on the local server. I don't have any pathname validation 
logic in my PEResourceManagerConfigurationWizardPage, so I suspect this 
error is coming from validation code in the superclass.

I'm also trying to use the browseRemoteFile method in IRemoteFileManager, 
just to be able to get the remote file dialog to appear (I realize this 
will need to change, but I'm just trying to get this part working now). I 
think that I need to create an instance of RSEFileManager in order to call 
browseRemoteFile. So I added org.eclipse.ptp.remote.rse to the list of 
dependencies in the build.xml file for the package containing my parallel 
tab class. I then tried importing 
org.eclipse.ptp.remote.rse.RSEFileManager and I get an error message that 
this is invalid due to access restrictions for package 
org.eclipse.ptp.remote.rse

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
Dave

No problem.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what you mean here. If you're subclassing 
AbstractRemoteResourceManager rather than AbstractResourceManager 
then the path should be for the remote proxy.
