How to change the default product having installed a feature into platform? [message #490130]

Hi All,

I'm installing a feature into an eclipse-platform release using p2 director. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to change the default product.

I've tried changing the strings in:
configuration/config.ini
.eclipseproduct
eclipse.ini
& running eclipse with '-clean'

Unfortunately the config.ini in the user's writable configuration still ends up specifying the platform config:

cat ~user/.eclipse/config3.5_x86_64/configuration/config.ini
#This configuration file was written by: org.eclipse.equinox.internal.frameworkadmin.equinox.EquinoxF wConfigFileParser
#Wed Oct 07 14:14:00 BST 2009
osgi.sharedConfiguration.area=file\:configuration/
eclipse.buildId=M20090917-0800
eclipse.product=org.eclipse.platform.ide

Note when I run the shared eclipse for the first time, it's using my product correctly. However if I change the release of Eclipse that I run, it falls back to running the platform product (though my features appear to still be correctly installed).

Can anyone point me at documentation on how to change the default product?

Cheers,
James

Just noticed the PDE sets the -product switch when launching a runtime Eclipse, which I can also do in my wrapper.

Hopefully I can stop pining for old-UM now...

Cheers,
James
