This gist provides a summary on how to accomplish the following tasks:
- Access WSL2 using putty
- Run Eclipse on WSL2 Ubuntu, displaying the Eclipse UI on VcXsrv running on Windows
- Connecting to VcXsrv directly from WSL2
- Using SSH X11 forwarding, with network connection initiated from Windows to WSL2 Ubuntu, which is particularly useful on company laptops that refuse all incoming network connections on Windows.
- Prerequisites:
- WSL2 up and running
- Putty, Plink & PuttyGen installed on Windows
