Hi all

I'm here with a feature request. Currently, you can use Eclipse's Remote System Explorer with ssh-keys by adding them in the SSH2 configuration pane (preference > General > Network Connections > SSH2).

However, I need to use the putty-agent pageant for Authentification in my shell putty and my MySQL client (HeidiSQL), so I would like to use pageant for authentification in Eclipse as well. That way, I only need to fill in my passphrase once for all applications. Would this be possible?
