Description Vladimir Kvashin 2010-12-10 15:14:51 UTC 
This is related to issue 188813 that is in turn necessary for Solaris Studio IDE.
User should be able to open a project that is located on remote host.
CND now supports an implementation of remote file system.
Project infrastructure should be capable of working with such projects too.

This issue is kind of an umbrella one. The particular known issue is issue 193249 - allow opening project on alternative file system. But my understanding is that there are a more thinhs to deal with, in particular recently used project list, opening projects on IDE startup, etc.

So that is open.

All these things should be based on URLs, not java.io.File paths, so should already work (though of course they are not being tested). You just need an appropriate URLMapper.
Comment 2 Vladimir Kvashin 2010-12-10 16:44:27 UTC 
Agreed. URLs and UrlMappers for remote file system are already implemented, this should work.
