availability on wesley

usage

in order to use eclipse for java development you must 1) logon to wesley using either x11 forwarding, or a vnc connection so that the eclipse graphical interface can be displayed, and 2) you must load the prerequisite jdk module. for example,

yourmachine% ssh -x wesley.lakeheadu.ca

wesley% module load java/jdk/1.8.0.40
wesley% module load eclipse

wesley% eclipse

restrictions

large jobs must be submitted to the queuing system.

you may use eclipse for development and debugging. however, you should not use the eclipse ide to run large calculations since they would run on wesley's login/head node only.
