      +
    1. In a normal workspace project, choose "New Folder", "Advanced", "Link to folder in + file system", then select the RSE file system and browse to a remote folder. This is + the preferred and most stable method of working with remote resources for now. + One big advantage of this approach is that it works for any kind of project nature, + including CDT, JDT etc. and can thus be used very well to test other kinds of + EFS integration issues to be done (along the lines of Eclipse Platform + Plan Item [154126]).

    2. Create a new project, on the location page disable "workspace", choose "rse" as file + system and browse to a remote folder. Works only if a .project file does not yet exist + at the chosen remote location. One disadvantage of this approach is that when + quitting and re-starting workbench, the project will be shown closed. You need to switch + to the RSE perspective, then open the project on each re-start of Eclipse. This will + be fixed by bug [181460].
      3. +
    3. In RSE, browse to any remote folder and choose "right-click" > "Create Remote Project". + This will create an EFS based "plain" project with the name of the remote folder in + your workspace. It will have no specific nature assigned, and creation may fail (e.g + when a .project file is already there; or a project of the requested name already exists). + This 3rd approach of creating an EFS project exists for convenience for now, and may be removed + in the future.
