In the eclipse plugin the difference in the client choice is not what you think.
In fact, the plugin has already the whole application and don't need anything from the Libresource server.
The choice comme from So6. So6 can work without LibreSource server but then when you choose to work with the local client, you use an accessible file system has "server". So6 will store the history of your work localy in a directory of your choice. And when you want to synchronize your data with an other workspace, you will have to specify where it could find on the filesystem this directory… This kind of client is used for the validation of the So6 tests.
The difference with this client, is that you don't have any awareness because you can't see who is connected, and it look like more a standard configuration management.
