I thought of using some of the source code in the TCP/IP Monitor in the Eclipse WTP to implement the requests part of the IDE Remote(Why reinvent the wheel right?). I'm thinking of handling the responses to the requests via the Response.java class that I have created. I also changed the UI to include Start, Stop and Properties buttons in the main interface itself to make it more user friendly. The start button will start the first monitor in the TCP/IP monitor list(So you'll have to create one at first use by navigating Properties). The Stop button will stop whatever the monitor that is already running. The Properties button will simply navigate to the preferences menu. Herewith I'm attaching the source code. Alternatively, you can find the source code at https://github.com/samurdhilbk. As in the TCP/IP monitor, the core handles the core functionality and ui handles the user interface. I had some issues with signing the JAR's so couldn't get around to exporting it to a JAR. I will do that as soon as possible. For now please run it in Eclipse and see how it works. You may find it in Window->Show View->Other->Other in the Eclipse window. 

Best Regards.

Hello All,

I previously expressed my interest in the GSoC project to develop an IDE
Remote Control for Eclipse. I did some work on it and managed to develop
the plugin to be able to accept requests through the browser.

Nice - got a link ?

Can anybody
tell me what exactly needs to be done with these requests? Should the user
be able to view/edit projects on the browser itself or does the plugin only
remotely do tasks that can otherwise be done through the Eclipse UI?

It is the other way around, that when you are in your browser - how do I open
files/resources from this browser in the IDE ?

i.e. with this plugin github.com could have links like http://localhost:6666/clone/?repo=https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-website
which would mean clone this repo and import it into the IDE.

Like
opening projects or saving an already open project. I'm a bit unclear on
this regard. I tried contacting Max (Max Anderson) but could not get
through to him.

sorry for the late response but been quite busy.

I'm travelling the next couple of weeks so i'll be slow, but I'll respond where I can.

/max

Hoping for a favorable response.

Regards,
Samurdhi.

Hello All,

I'm Samurdhi Karunarathne and I'm a student at the Faculty of Engineering,
University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. I came across the idea of creating a
plugin for Eclipse that responds to requests sent in through a web browser,
on the GSoC 2016 ideas page. I have quite some experience in this direction
and I think that it's a pretty cool idea. So I'm very excited to work on
this project for GSoC 2016.
Hope you could give me some guidelines to get myself up and aboard the
task. Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Samurdhi.
