title: Eclipse CDT+RSE+PTP: how to set up a synchronized remote project with remote indexing?
body: <p>This C project I am supposed to work on is taking too long(>5 hours) to do indexing on local, also the building depends on the environment setting on a remote server. </p>
  
  <p>So I am thinking to have the server doing the indexing and at the same time keep a local copy of the project just for the fast editing and browsing. After some search on google, I found that Eclipse PTP5.0 's synchronized remote project is very close to what I want. </p>
  
  <p>But the docs doesn't seem very clear how to set it up. I have tried many times, no success. </p>
  
  <p>I see many places with Remote Tools and RSE as options, which one do I choose? How are they different? Do I have to run rdt-server manually (I don't have the root access on the server)? Is it possible to do this only with ssh without opening another port on the server?</p>
  
  <p>Is there a guide for this kind of setup?
  Or, any other ways to achieve this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks !</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong>
  on a second thought, synchronise doesn't seem very important to me since PTP is doing it through git anyway. So remote indexing is what I need the most.</p>
