eclipse-inst.ini redirection to a relative path [message #1720578]

Hello oomph community,
in order to import my custom setup files into the installer by default,
I wrote this line into eclipse-inst.ini :
-Doomph.redirection.setups=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/->file:/C:/Users/EMAKMEL/eclipse-installer/oomphcc/

Now my question is: is it possible to give a relative path instead of absolute one?

My goal is to ZIP and distribute the installer folder, the users should unpack that anywhere and when they start the installer, they would be automatically redirected to my .setup files

That's possible. We also use relative paths for our tutorials.

Cheers

Thank you Eike for your reply,
what should the prefix be for the file if i want to use relative path?
I tried using batch-like notation %cd% like here:
> -Doomph.redirection.setups=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/->file:%cd%/oomphcc/

The target paths must be relative to the installer executable, for example:

-Doomph.redirection.archive=http://www.eclipse.org/setups/setups.zip->../../setups/setups.zip
-Doomph.redirection.download=http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/products/repository->../../p2/oomph/products/repository

Thank you, that worked,
for those who is going to do that too, i want to mention that you need to put slash to the end,
so if you have a folder SETUPS in the installer folder, then it should look like:
-Doomph.redirection.setups=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/->SETUPS/

Maksim,

Yes, the redirections are implemented by EMF:

http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.11/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/resource/URIConverter.html#getURIMap%28%29

Note that if you redirect the setups in the installer, you'll need to
ensure that the installations produced by the installer will also have
appropriate redirections so that they can locate the products/projects
you've placed in your "distributed-with-the-installer" catalogs.
