[Building Sakai] Remote Eclipse over X-Terminal

[Martin B. Smith]

Hi Daniel,

You could do as Steve suggests and use a network share for running
Eclipse; also, you I recommend the Xming server for Windows. Finally,
have you seen the NX/NoMachine product/project? They have done X
forwarding with some nice compression to make those redraws you mention
less painful.

Good luck,
