This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
There are two possible scenarios of remote development: 1) source code initially reside on the local machine; it is copied to the remote one and built/run/debugged there 2) source code initially reside on the remote machine; the code should be accessible from the local one to make it possible to browse, edit, use code model features. For now only 1-st scenario is supported. However, the 2-nd one is pretty common, especially for Sun Studio users and other enterprise developers. So it should be supported as well.
