I have posted the output to https://pastebin.com/fK4VAy4A.

The [andy.pont] section at the end isn?t in my /etc/samba/smb.conf file. 
  I?m assuming it has been auto-generated with my user name being in the 
preload section.

You have 'server min protocol = SMB2' in your smb.conf, not that it
matters, it is the default now. This means that you are not using SMBv1
and you need that for Network Browsing.

It could be that your 'IDE' requires SMBv1, I have no way of testing, I
do not use MacOS.

You also might as well remove 'guest ok = Yes' from your shares, you do
not have 'map to guest = bad user' in 'global' and you are also
using
'valid users' and this will disallow the guest user unless it is set.

Finally, please don't 'CC' me, just reply to the list.

I have done some more poking around and it appears that as the Eclipse 
IDE is closing it is getting stuck in a loop.  I can see SMB 
transactions on the network using Wireshark and also repeated file 
accesses on the server using inotifywait.

I?m not sure whether I am interpreting the data I have collected 
correctly but it looks as though Eclipse is missing a notification that 
file(s) have been successfully closed and so is repeating the request.

Does that make any sense?
