Re: [ptp-dev] Remote Project

I recommend to use synchronized project and tune the local indexer. See e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9565125/whats-the-recommended-eclipse-cdt-configuration-for-big-c-project-indexer-ta for tips of how to do that.

Ideally telling Yes i want to get the Indexing done on the server. 
And i am hopefull that it will ease the load on the local machine.

Yes i want to get everything index, but currently even my smaller project is not getting indexed

Hi,

do you want to use the index? Do you need everything indexed?

Hello Greg,

Thanks for the feedback.

Let me give you a background why i thought of giving a try to the remote project.

1. I have a very huge code base ( in GBs)
2. Using Eclipse to import the complete code base on the local machine is crazy. Eclipse can't withstand such a huge code base and the indexer makes things non-usable.
3. So the solution was to checkout the code base on server and I tried to use the Remote Project to access it. The benefit i thought was that the indexing (which is the most memory intensive operation will happen on the server).

Now as you are suggesting to use the Synchronized project, my biggest nightmare "indexing" will again be happening on the local machine. Which will again make eclipse non-usable for my code base. Another thing is to sync the code base initially, my personal feeling is that it will take ages to do initial syncing between geographic different location.

I am very much open to  contribute code if you people can guide me to a solution.

Thanks,
Vishal

Hi Vishal,

Many of the problems you describe are also apparent even when accessing a remote project in the same geographic location, or even the same local network, and tend to be inherent in the nature of remote projects. It may be possible to speed up directory listings as you suggest, but this will not do much to speed up the overall performance of remote projects.

As a result of these issues, we have transitioned to another type of project called synchronized projects. These projects maintain both a local and remote copy of the source files. Apart from the time it takes to do the initial synchronization, these projects tend to work much faster with Eclipse, since the indexer and other expensive operations only happen on the local copy of the files.

Synchronized projects are available in both the Kepler and soon-to-be-released Luna versions of Eclipse for Parallel Application Developers package.

Ongoing development of remote projects has pretty much ceased, so it is unlikely there will be any future updates unless you would like to contribute something.

Regards,
Greg
