Hi all

Is it possible, to define in the eclipse start up configuration an other folder than "plugins" (../eclipse/plugins) as the plug-in folder? (windows)
So that I can have different eclipse "exe" for one eclipse installation.

Such as,
eclipse_one.exe starts with plugin folder ../eclipse/pluginsOne
eclipse_two.exe starts with plugin folder ../eclipse/pluginsTwo
eclipse_three.exe starts with plugin folder ../eclipse/pluginsThree

Cheers,
Markus

The Eclipse launcher is small. I recommend using different whole Eclipse
directories and matching workspaces to prevent metadata collisions. You
can use your OS's desktop mapping technique to create startup icons
for each.

Not really.
If you tell us more about your end goal (what you're trying to achieve),
we might be able to offer better advice.
