Can you elaborate more on the process on how this connection should be 
established? From the spec, it gives me the impression that backend 
proxy should act as a server, but, it is "command-driven" by the eclipse 
front. Aforementioned (and the code itself) indicate the proxy does 
connect back to Eclipse front (a dynamic port as server port?).

Thanks
