[ptp-user] Indexer fails with remote projects over ssh tunnels

Hello,

My apologies if this has been addressed in this list or in the wiki - I've spent a few days looking for an answer but haven't found it.

I am trying to set up a connection to an RDT server on a remote system, but there is a firewall between my desktop and that remote system, so I am using an ssh tunnel.  I can connect to the RDT server successfully, can browse remote files, examine remote processes, etc.  The problem I'm seeing is that when I create a remote C/C++ project, the Eclipse GUI gives an error dialog saying there was a C/C++ indexer error, with the only details that there was a java.lang.NullPointerException.  I've tried using both the system's default java installation and the latest JDK from Oracle.  Note that when I try these same actions with another remote system that does not need the ssh tunnel, the software works as expected (i.e., no indexer errors) making me think that I have all the needed plugins and the tunnel is somehow causing the problem.

I'm using Indigo and the associated PTP release.  I'm tunneling both the dstore protocol and ssh traffic, since the client side will not let me enter two different system names for dstore and ssh within the same Remote Connection.

Any help is appreciated.

Phil
