Can't use code together with server side SAP code

[uxkjaer]

Describe the bug
In SAP the code resides on the SAP Netweaver Server, we use a custom plugin for Eclipe to open an Abap Project to connect to the system. When using the code toegher tool we get the following error I assume because the code isn't residing on the client.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install an SAP system - Easiest is to use a docker container to spin up your abap system

2. Download the Abap development tools for Eclipse via http://tools.hana.ondemand.com/
3. Add a new Abap Project and click the new system connection. Add in the details from your docker host
4. Create a new Abap program and try to use the code together

Expected behavior
We can use the code together tool with the Abap extension

It appears that the code isn't mapped into your Eclipse workspace, which results in this failure. Thank you for the report as well as the detailed reproduction steps - we'll take a look and see what we can do!

Pair programming is used when training ABAP developers, but less so day to day. However, it’s use is expected to grow. Source: https://twitter.com/h_neumann/status/1380630474104700931?s=21

Jakob, it gives me great pleasure to tag this bug report to the 4.1 milestone release as we've made incredible progress, with your kind help, to resolve the issue for both VS Code and Eclipse hosts.

Please get in touch so we can give you a private preview of what you helped us build. I think you'll really like it.
