What is Remote Compiling?
Remote compiling occurs when RCB runs on a local machine but has all of its build operations take place remotely. RCB requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) at version level 1.2.1 or greater. On most UNIX platforms, this should not be an obstacle. However, a few older platforms may never support Java 1.2. If you need to work on one of these platforms, you can run RCB on a local machine, with the local machine providing the Java 1.2 support, to build components on a remote machine without Java 1.2 support. You can do this if: • The remote machine, without Java 1.2 support, is part of a network with machines that support Java 1.2. • The remote machine, without Java 1.2 support, has a common nfs mounting with those machines. This is true if absolute path names on the two machines are the same, usually something like /nfs/some-path. • The local machine, with Java 1.2, has a remote shell. • You have access to Korn shell. Apart from some initial system setup and starting RCB with an additiona
