Product export: missing .eclipseproduct and private config location strangeness [message #605005] Thu, 11 March 2010 09:18

Hi everybody,

I am trying to export a product such that, if the install directory is
read-only, the default RCP private configuration location shall be used
for the configuration area.

From the Eclipse documentation I learn:
"The default location for a private configuration area is:
<user-home-dir>/.eclipse/<product-id>_<product-version>/configuration "
and
"The product id and version are obtained from the product marker file
..eclipseproduct under the Eclipse install."

( http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse .platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/multi_user_installs.html)

I am having two problems:

1.) The product marker file .eclipseproduct is not generated by the
export. I could not find an option in the wizard to have it created.
This leads to the private configuration area to be placed at
<user-home-dir>/.eclipse/784544719 /configuration

=> Why is the .eclipseproduct file not created?

So I created it manually and put in the id, name, and version of my product.

2.) With the .eclipseproduct in place, the config area is put under
<user-home-dir> /.eclipse/de.compeople.testproduct_1.0.0_784544719/configura tion
Not bad: "de.compeople.testproduct" is the ID I provided in the
..eclipseproduct file, and "1.0.0" is my version.

=> But where does the "784544719" come from?? What does it mean?

Thanks for any pointers!

Yang
