Hello everybody,

I try to create a setup file to set up a special folder structure (not the usual structure provided by the installer).

To do so I would need to know what variables the installer uses to install an eclipse.

Where can I find such a list

Thank you Smile

The most interesting one will be ${installation.xyz}, which is induced by the attributes of the InstallationTask. Please
look for examples by opening the Catalog Index in the Setup Editor, pressing Ctrl+F, and searching for "${installation.".

Thank you. For the sake of post completness here are the variables I found:

${installation.
root -> folder in which the eclipse installtion.location is placed
location -> folder in which eclipse is installed
relativeProductFolder -> ?
id -> an Identifier I suppose
}

That's the path from the installation.location to the folder that contains, e.g., the eclipse.ini file, which may be
different on the different OSs. Here's an example that sets the default perspective of a product:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0">
<setup:ResourceCreationTask
id="plugin.customization.ini"
excludedTriggers="STARTUP MANUAL"
content="org.eclipse.ui/defaultPerspectiveId=org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.core.perspective
"
targetURL="${installation.location|uri}/${installation.relativeProductFolder}/plugin_customization.ini"/>
<setup:EclipseIniTask
excludedTriggers="STARTUP MANUAL"
option="-pluginCustomization"
value="${plugin.customization.ini.targetURL|file}"/>
</xmi:XMI>

> id -> an Identifier I suppose
The value of ${installation.id} is "installation" by definition, pretty useless ;-)
