<p>
RSE is a framework that supports plugging in many different communication protocols.
By default, the dstore and FTP protocol plug-ins are provided, with dstore being a
lot richer in features.</p>
<p>
Dstore requirs a server to run on the remote system. There are several methods to
get a server launched for a particular user, the most easy one to set up is the
daemon method. To start a dstore launcher daemon,
<ul>
<li>On Windows:<ul>
<li>Extract the rseserver-*-windows.zip package and cd to it.</li>
<li>Run <b>setup.bat</b>, then run <b>daemon.bat</b>.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>On Linux or AIX or other Unix:<ul>
<li>Extract the appropriate rseserver-*.tar package.</li>
<li>Become <b>root</b> and cd to the package directory.</li>
<li>Make sure that a <b>Sun or IBM JRE 1.4</b> or higher is in the PATH. The gcj-based java installation
that comes with many Linux distributions will not do! You can download a Sun JRE from
<a href="http://java.sun.com">http://java.sun.com</a>.
<li>Run <b>perl daemon.pl</b>.
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> In its default configuration for testing, the dstore daemon accepts <b>unencrypted
passwords</b> from the RSE client. For production use, SSL can be enabled in order to encrypt
connections, or the RSE server can be launched differently (e.g. through ssh).</p>

<ul>
<li>In the RSE Perspective, Remote Systems View, press the <b>New Connection</b> button.<ul>
<li>Note: In the Preferences, you can enable displaying available new connection types in the RSE tree.</li></ul></li>
<li>Enter a name, system type and IP address for a remote system running an ssh server or dstore server.<ul>
<li>Coose system type "SSH Only" for ssh servers, or any other for dstore.</li>
<li>You can also run a dstore server on the local machine for testing. In this case, type "localhost" as address.</li>
<li>You can press Finish right away, the wizard defaults are fine for dstore connections.</li></ul></li>
<li>Fill in the username / password dialog.<ul>
<li>Note: For ssh, the password here is just a dummy. You can setup ssh private key authentication through
the <b>Team &gt; CVS &gt; SSH2 Connection Method</b> Preference page.</li></ul></li>
<li><b>Browse remote files</b>, or open remote shells.<ul>
<li>You can <b>drag and drop</b> files between local and remote file systems, between editors and any view.
Files are transferred as needed.</li>
<li>On dstore, you can browse into remote archives (*.zip, *.tar) without having to transfer the entire contents. This works thanks
to "miners" on the remote side. Custom miners can be plugged into the dstore server.<br>
Note: Some tar formats currently fail to work. See <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=139207">bug 139207</a>.</li>
<li>On dstore, when you list directories in a remote shell, the <b>shell output is parsed</b> to identify
files, folders and even line numbers from compiler error messages. These items can also be
dragged and dropped, or double clicked to position an editor on them.</li></ul></li>
<li>On dstore, you can choose <b>Search &gt; Remote...</b>.<ul>
<li>The dstore miners support searching a remote file system
without having to transfer any data.</li></ul></li>
<li>On dstore, when the remote system is Linux, AIX or Other Unix:<ul>
<li>Browse remote <b>Processes</b>.</li>
<li>Select "My Processes" and choose context menu &gt; <b>Monitor</b>.
<li>Enable polling, choose a short wait time. See processes appear and vanish as you perform commands in a remote shell.</li></ul></li>

The following M3 <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/development/plan.php">original plan</a> deliverables did
not make it into this build:
<ul>
<li>The Wizard is not yet completely replacable.</li>
<li>User Actions, and Import/Export were deferred.
A new <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/development/plan.php">plan</a> will be published.</li>
<li>JUnit tests are not yet available.</li>
</ul>
The following critical or major bugs are currently known. Since
the goal of this milestone was "functional complete" for soliciting
user and API feedback, we still gave a go for this milestone.
We'll strive to fix these as soon as possible.
