Eclipse's CVS Team provider doesn't work with EFS, so unfortunately there is no current integrated source control solution... yet.

What you can do is check out your source using a source control client on the remote machine, and then point Eclipse at the files that were checked out.

You need a server instance per user. Even when running in daemon mode, the daemon launches a new JVM for each user.

I would suggest you ask that question on the dsdp-tm newsgroup or mailing list, they are more qualified to answer that question. I know you can do SSL encryption on the connection.

Re: [ptp-user] PTP adoption

Giuseppe,

I've answered some of your questions below. For the remaining  
questions, I'll have to defer to others to answer.

I believe that you should still be able to use CVS with remote  
projects, but Chris could correct me if I'm wrong. You would first  
create the remote project, then check out the source files from CVS  
using "Check out as..." and "Check out into an existing project".

The SDM uses gdb to perform debugging operations on parallel programs.  
If are interested in using gdb to debug remote sequential programs,  
then you might want to look at the remote launch configuration that  
comes with CDT.

I believe Totalview has already done some Eclipse integration with  
their product.

Adding compiler support is not particularly difficult, but I haven't  
heard of PGI adding support for their compilers.

At one point Platform Computing were interested in adding support for  
LSF, but I haven't seen anything eventuate. We will hopefully have  
support for SLURM in the next release.

You're welcome. Thanks for your interest.
