Using the SFTP connection method, I can connect to my servers, browse my files, open and edit PHP, HTML and other various text files using my favorite editor tools seamlessly in Eclipse as though they were local. Opening the file triggers a download, saving the file triggers an upload.RSE Denis Roy, Eclipse Webmaster,

The DSDP-Target Management Project | © 2006, 2007 by Wind River Systems, Inc; made available under the EPL v Why are there Subsystem and Service layers? Originally, RSE just dealt with Subsystems You can register just ANYTHING as a Subsystem. It turned out, that some Subsystems should be used with multiple protocols (e.g. files-via-dstore, files-via-ssh, files-via-ftp) The Service Layer allows to replace the protocol UI code, filters, widgets etc. are re-used from the Subsystem The Subsystem is the client-facing side (filters, dialogs, …) although it has both a non-UI layer and a UI layer (via Adapters). The Service is always non-UI. Its for programmers. For your own subsystem, you can but dont have to do a Service.

The DSDP-Target Management Project | © 2006, 2007 by Wind River Systems, Inc; made available under the EPL v RSE: Custom Service for Existing Subsystem Goal: Add a new protocol (WebDAV) for using the RSE Remote File Browser on it. Works exactly the same for other protocols Tasks: Have a generic Service for WebDAV (independent of RSE). Write an IFileService wrapper for it, using IHostFile objects as model. Register the subsystemConfigurations extension point. Re-use FileServiceSubsystem, but adding the plumbing for an FTP ConnectorService. Write an WebDAVFileAdapter, and register an AdapterFactory for it in the Activator. Thats simple, because IFileService is simple!

Individual setup for each communication method Especially awkward for multi-core (different tool for each core) The goal is a single protocol used to communicate between all tools and targets, supporting auto-discovery, multiplexing and tunneling Transport protocol agnostic Single point of configuration, single link
