CDT Support for Remote Project
Status
CDT has no support for EFS at all. Even its support for locally linked resources are quite limited. For example, the following bugs are already identified:
- 136136 Build directory should not be restricted to workspace
- 70491 Invalid Include Path when "Link to Folder in the Filesystem"
And, also reference http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg03059.html for the discussion of linked resources.
