Description

(Context: migration from Eclipse CDT Mars to 2019-12. We use RSE for the SCP protocol support, since the embedded system (uses dropbear) doesn't support SFTP.)

In Eclipse Mars, we use RSE for remote debugging. That is: in "C/C++ Remote Application" debug configuration we are selecting connection to target, configured in "Remote System Explorer" perspective.

Now with Eclipse 2019-12, in the "C/C++ Remote Application", we can select only the connections configured in "Connection" view. The connections configured in RSE perspective do not appear in "Connection" dropbox.

(RSE version in 2019-12: I have simply installed all plugins from the 4.5.200 snapshot repo. One with generic name failed to install. Strangely, this is also the only place where I found the SCP plugin. We are using SCP since ~2015, and works well. I'm not sure why it is still in "incubator".)

Hopefully I'm only missing a plugin to make it work, i.e. allow remote debugging to use RSE connection instead of the built-in "Connections".

P.S. Re the "Connection" view. I haven't even found any UI where the connection's IP address can be edited, least what underlying protocol (SCP or SFTP) it should use. We would much prefer to use the full-featured RSE.
