Thanks for these explanations. Actually, I precisely tried to follow these 
instructions above. Unfortunately, a public/private key pair wouldn't work 
with the remote connection, unless it underwent the following special 
treatment.
- Remove pass-phrase
- Import to General->Network Connections->SSH2
- Reset the pass-phrase to the original value inside eclipse
- Save private key (I guess that means an export from eclipse)

Removing and re-adding the pass-phrase and importing/exporting in/from eclipse 
should be reverse operations. So common sense would expect that the key pair 
comes out unchanged out of this special treatment. Experience shows that this 
is not true. Something changes that makes the key usable for synchronized 
projects. If not treated like above, the remote connection never would come 
active as it keeps asking for the pass-phrase for ever and ever. Apparently, 
it is not able to unlock the key. 

Any idea what happens there ?
