Can not change Workspace after upgrade from 4.7 -> 4.9 [message #1803817]

Hello,

in my pure e4 application (eclipse plattform 4.7,) i used successful following code in my LifeCycleManager to let the user specify his workspace after first start:


@PostContextCreate
private void postContextCreate(IApplicationContext applicationContext, Display display, StatusReporter statusReporter) {
 logger.info("LifeCycleManager.postContextCreate()");
 // check if workspace directory has been set
 Location instanceLocation = Platform.getInstanceLocation();
 if (!instanceLocation.isSet()) {
  //open SwitchWorkspaceDialog and let the user choose the workspace path
  ...
  //set the new workspace
  instanceLocation.set(new File(directory).toURI().toURL(), false);
 }
}

After upgrading to 4.9,

Platform.getInstanceLocation.isSet()

always returns true and therefore the user cant choose his own workspace. The default workspace location is always set to /MyRCPApplication/workspace/.

I deleted all existing workspaces and tried it also on a clean system.

Is it a bug or is there another way in 4.9 to change the workspace?

Thanks
Nico
