title: Seamless (RSE) Remote Projects in Eclipse
body: <p>I've been trying - without much success - to make Eclipse (for C/C++, but that should be irrelevant) play nicely with remote projects. It would make my life at work much easier if I can set things in the following way:  </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Run Eclipse from my local Windows machine  </li>
  <li>Connect (through Eclipse) to the remote Linux development box  </li>
  <li>Create an Eclipse project from files and directories already created on the remote box  </li>
  <li>Configure project dependencies and symbols using files and directories from the remote box  </li>
  <li>Building and running the project in Eclipse is not needed - since this is done with a million makefiles, it's easier for me to just SSH into the box and build from command line. I just need Eclipse to recognize included resources</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I tried setting this up with Remote System Explorer (RSE), but couldn't quite get it to work. I can create a connection to the remote box, browse its files, and even convert certain directories to Remote Projects. Once the remote project is created, however, it's useless to me - Eclipse underlines everything that's not a C/C++ keyword, saying it doesn't recognize it (even #include statements of system libraries); equally important, it doesn't allow me to add remote resources to the Paths &amp; Symbols of the project. </p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something here, or RSE just not capable of doing what I need it to?</p>
