Oomph preference recorder : plugin_customization.ini does not accept ${eclipse_home} [message #1817283]

Currently it throwing error message that target uri is invalid when target is initialized with eclipse home variable in plugin_customization.ini or am I missing something here?

org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui/preference.recorder.target=${eclipse_home}configuration\\org.eclipse.oomph.setup\\installation.setup
org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui/preference.recorder.target=${workspace.location|uri}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.oomph.setup/workspace.setup

Both the above values do not work.

Could you help to make a generic value to accept based on selected eclipse home folder or workspace folder.

I'm not sure which variables are available when the plugin_customization.ini is processed. Certainly you can't use Oomph's variables and whatever you specify in that file must evaluated by whatever, if anything, that evaluates variables there and must evaluated to exactly the correct file: URI.

If system properties are available for use in that file, osgi.instance.area is a file: URI for the location of the workspace and osgi.configuration.area is a file: URI for the location of the installation's configuration area.

Just keep in mind that what form of variable, if any, can be used in the plugin_customization.ini , evaluating that depends on how that file processed by the Eclipse runtime. No Oomph variable expansion will be applied to the final value you put in the preference.

Thanks for the quick response and help Merks :)

I managed to solve the problem by prepending file:/ to value. I understood that the path is directly serialized as URI string itself but not as "toFileString()".
Now the value looks: org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui/preference.recorder.target=file:/${eclipse_home}configuration/org.eclipse.oomph.setup/installation.setup
