                Run Eclipse in WSL2
              
          
    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
