I have trawled through the help and documentation but cannot find a definitive answer to my question, so I am hoping someone in this forum may be able to assist.
I am trying to set up a deployment of Eclipse into a training room environment using virtualisation technology (AppV).
What I am unable to find, is a way of configuring the eclipse-workspace and all other user folders to point to the C:\Users\Public folder rather than the C:\Users\<current-user> folder. The training environment is rebuilt each time a course is completed, so there are no issues requiring data to be stored in a user-specific folder.
I have tried manually going through all configuration files in the current user profile, changing the paths to c:\users\public, and ensuring the files are present in the C:\users\public folder when eclipse (for Java Developers) is started, but somehow it still tries to default to the current user profile.
Clearly I am missing a setting somewhere, or the app cannot be hard coded to a specific user folder, so any help here would be most welcome!
Thanks
EdT

Perhaps just specifying -Duser.home=C:\Users\public (in the eclipse.ini in the -vmargs section), is all that you need. I use this all the time when testing the Eclipse installer to make it (and the rest of Eclipse) use some other folder as my home folder.
