How to use eclipse with ssh, so that the remote projects can be edited by local eclipse?

Question

I often use remote servers to store and run my Java projects. But this prevents me from using eclipse. So I have two questions:

1. Can I use my local eclipse manage the Java projects on the remote servers ? ( I usually use ssh to access the servers )

2. If there is a solution for question 1, then is it possible that the Java programs run on the remote server also ? (i.e. only the GUI of eclipse is shown local)

For the second question, I know ssh -X can do this (run eclipse on the remote server), but it is too slow. Any ideas?

Solution

RSE plugin is what you are looking for.

There is an article to introduce it.
