rsync is an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer.

Mercurial is a fast, lightweight Source Control Management system designed for efficient handling of very large distributed projects.

CouchDb is a distributed document database system with bi-directional replication. It makes it simple to build collaborative applications that can be replicated offline by users, with full interactivity (query, add, update, delete), and later "synced up" with everyone else's changes when back online.

Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows, written in OCaml. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts, modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other. Unison offers ... [More] several advantages over various synchronization methods such as CVS, Coda, rsync, Intellisync, etc. Unison can run on and synchronize between Windows and many UNIX platforms. Unison can synchronize changes to files and directories in both directions, on the same machine, or across a network using ssh or a direct socket connection. Transfers are optimised using a version of the rsync protocol, has a clear and precise specification, and is resilient to failure due to its careful handling of replicas. [Less]

monotone is a free distributed version control system. It provides a simple, single-file transactional version store, with fully disconnected operation and an efficient peer-to-peer synchronization protocol. It understands history-sensitive merging, lightweight branches, integrated code review and ... [More] 3rd party testing. It uses cryptographic version naming and client-side RSA certificates. It has good internationalization support, has no external dependencies, is written in C++, runs on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X and other unixes, and Windows too. [Less]

[More] is created, changed or deleted in Eclipse, then the mapped (external) file will be created, changed or deleted too. Please note, that synchronization works is only in one direction - from Eclipse to the rest of the world. [Less]
