Select Remote System Type list empty in Eclipse

Question

I want to cross compile in Eclipse Luna (Windows -> Linux), but when I want to add a connection in the Remote System view the list is empty

I've installed the newest RSE in Eclipse. Maybe I've missed an important point which I don't know still, and that's why it is empty.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

and your issue will be resolved.

Answer 2

I had the same issue.

You've probably only installed the:

Remote System Explorer User Actions

1. Go to Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software
2. Choose the filter as Photon (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/photon) or any other version you're using
3. General Purpose Tools
4. Install the Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime.

tl;dr

You must install both:

 - Remote System Explorer User Actions 
 - Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime
