Find the Configuration directory [message #698104]

I want to find the "configuration directory" (the location where config.ini reside in - usually it is the <eclipse install>/configuration). Platform.getConfigurationLocation gives the current plugin in the .metadata area. When eclipse is run with the option "-configuration" and the configuration changes, I would like the find it while the plugin starts.

What is the best command to do so?

Thanks
Yigal

There's a system property, osgi.configuration.area. If you go to Help>About>Installation Details>Configuration you can see the list of properties that are set in your running instance.

Also check out http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fruntime-options.html for a description of most properties.
