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.
Ugh, yes I see the problem. I'll fix this asap.
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
You should never need to create instances of the file manager
implementation directly. Always use the IRemote* interfaces. Assuming
you've subclassed AbstractRemoteResourceManagerConfiguration, use the
getRemoteServicesId() method on your configuration to get the name of
the remote service provider that has been selected. Then use
PTPRemotePlugin.getRemoteServices() to get the IRemoteServices
object. You then get the file manager by calling
IRemoteServices.getFileManager().
I've committed some changes to the way this works, as well as added
support for direct file manipulation. I'm just documenting it now.
