Re: [ptp-user] Problem setting up RDT

Thanks for your help.

I installed all software through Help > Install New Software... and never noticed any other software packages being pulled in besides the one(s) I had selected.

I installed the software in three steps, looking for changes in the user interface after each step:
1. PTP Remote Development Tools (RDT), Version 4.0.0
2. PTP RDT Remote Tools Support, Version 4.0.0, plus Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime, Version 3.2.0
3. Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) End-User Runtime, Version 4.0.0
I then activated http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/updates/helios and the updates were detected and installed automatically after a restart.

I use context menu in project explorer view and Now > Remote C/C++ project is available
I also have Window > Open Perspective... Other ... Remote C/C++
My Eclipse installation seems to be pretty stubborn as far as changes to the user interface are concerned. As already reported, there is no Window > Open Perspective > Remote C/C++ and no File > New > Remote C/C++ Project. There also is no New > Remote C/C++ project in the project explorer's context menu and no Window > Open Perspective > Other > Remote System Explorer or anything else related to RSE anywhere I looked. Also, the Eclipse Colorer plugin does not show up anywhere.

Could there be something wrong with my Eclipse installation altogether?

Anything in the error log that looks suspicious?
No.

If you are using RemoteTools as the service provider (instead of RSE) then it will move the server componet (rdt-server.jar) to the target machine for you, under the covers.
I downloaded rdt-server-linux-4.0.2.tar from an Eclipse mirror, wrapped it into a Debian daemon package and installed that packaged. That wouldn't have been necessary? Where would rdt-server.jar end up on the target machine if copied automagically?

The interdependencies of PTP, RSE, and RDT are still not very clear to me. Do I have a choice between RDT and RSE when I want to develop on a remote Linux machine? Do I need PTP for remote C++ development, as as prerequisite for RDT, or not at all?
