Thanks for your help.
I installed all software through Help > Install New Software...
and never noticed any other software packages being pulled in
besides the one(s) I had selected.
I installed the software in three steps, looking for changes in the
user interface after each step:
1. PTP Remote Development Tools (RDT), Version 4.0.0
2. PTP RDT Remote Tools Support, Version 4.0.0, plus Remote System
Explorer End-User Runtime, Version 3.2.0
3. Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) End-User Runtime, Version 4.0.0
I then activated
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/updates/helios and the updates
were detected and installed automatically after a restart.

I use context
menu in project explorer view and Now > Remote C/C++
project is available
I also have Window > Open Perspective... Other ... Remote
C/C++
My Eclipse installation seems to be pretty stubborn as far as
changes to the user interface are concerned. As already reported,
there is no Window > Open Perspective > Remote C/C++ and no
File > New > Remote C/C++ Project. There also is no New >
Remote C/C++ project in the project explorer's context menu and no
Window > Open Perspective > Other > Remote System Explorer
or anything else related to RSE anywhere I looked. Also, the Eclipse
Colorer plugin does not show up anywhere.
Could there be something wrong with my Eclipse installation
altogether?
Anything in the error log that looks
suspicious?
No.
If you are
using RemoteTools as the service provider (instead of RSE)
then it will move the server componet (rdt-server.jar) to
the target machine for you, under the covers.
I downloaded rdt-server-linux-4.0.2.tar from an Eclipse mirror,
wrapped it into a Debian daemon package and installed that packaged.
That wouldn't have been necessary? Where would rdt-server.jar end up
on the target machine if copied automagically?
The interdependencies of PTP, RSE, and RDT are still not very clear
to me. Do I have a choice between RDT and RSE when I want to develop
on a remote Linux machine? Do I need PTP for remote C++ development,
as as prerequisite for RDT, or not at all?
