Eclipse Pydev and accepting incoming connections dialog in macOS

I am a user of Eclipse Neon on macOS el Capitan. After installing PyDev for Eclipse, I get a dialog asking about accepting incoming connections once per session.

I know about Why does Eclipse want incoming network connections using OS X and How to get rid of firewall accept incoming connections dialog.

I tried the solutions in the second link to no avail. Moreover, for my development work I do not need the remote debugging capabilities of PyDev. Is there any way to turn them off or to otherwise prevent this dialog from appearing when I want to edit a Python file in Eclipse?

Conceptually, I believe, I have to sign the PyDev plugin for Eclipse, but this does not seem to be doable.

I answered the why those connections are needed in the original question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40129838/110451, as for getting rid of it, in my case just accepting it seems to work (so, unfortunately I can't really help you there as I don't experience the problem of accepting it and the Mac OS X firewall not acknowledging that properly -- seems like a Mac bug in the firewall for me).
