Allow configuration of directory as alternative to USERHOME [message #1730771]

In many company networks the userhome is pointing to a roamed directory which has only a limited size. Oomph is currently storing the p2 bundlepool there. Therefore the directory is growing to large and causes synchronization problems.

Would it be possible to make the this location configurable?

Currently implementation is hardcode inside AgentManagerImpl?

  public AgentManagerImpl()
  {
    this(new File(PropertiesUtil.USER_HOME));
  }

What do you think about a something like an additional SystemProperty inside

org.eclipse.oomph.internal.setup.SetupProperties

named

oomph.setup.p2

which is only used when given or is defaulting otherwise to userhome value.

What do you think?
Would you accept a contribution?

Peter,

On my old machine, my C drive was almost full so that was a problem.
But I just used the installer to create a new agent and it's default
bundle pool on my D drive and deleted the old one on the C drive.

If you wanted to influence the default location of the agent I think
that's best done for this field, not by changing the value of userHome
which really should be the user.home system property because that's used
elsewhere to look things up.

defaultAgentLocation = new File(userHome, ".p2");

Hi Ed,

that is exactly my point. I do not want to change the userhome cause it is used for other eclipse user stores, like secure_storage and so on.

My question/requirement is to configure the defaultAgentLocation?
As far as I know this is currently not possible?
What do you think about making it configurable?

I'm trying to provide a default oomph with custom batch file for launching and configuring oomph for the "enterprise" setup.

Peter,

Yes, we could make the default be configurable.

That being said, if you already have a custom batch file you could
manage the contents of

~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.p2/*.info

to point at different defaults, i.e., make them the same way as if you'd
manually created a new agent and deleted the old agent...

Thank you Ed, I will investigate on pre-oomph-execution batch modifications.
But I think it will cause issues from the initial / virgin installation to the succeeding startups from batch.

I will see and report back Wink
