I created junit test by importing a project into a Eclipse workspace,
after running maven to build the product, I found the workspace located under the plugin which contains the junit testcase. /pluginname/work/data/,
under the data folder, I saw my imported project and .metadata, indicate that's the workspace.

However I want to set a workspace path at a filesystem, e.g. /home/productname/Testing.

I tried the following code to set the workspace manually, as suggested by other post.

Location instanceLoc = Platform.getInstanceLocation();
if (instanceLoc.isSet()) {
// release any previous location
instanceLoc.release();
String destination = "home/productname/Testing/";
URL value = new URL("file", null, destination); // $NON-NLS-1$
try {
instanceLoc.set(value, true);
} catch (IllegalStateException | IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

However it shows ` Cannot change the location once it is set.`

Anyone has any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
