Clean osgi cache folder after closing the application. [message #1839519]

Hi,
We are working on an Eclipse 4 application based on Eclipse Oxygen (4.7.3) that shares the installation area among many users and each user has his own configuration area.

All these configuration folders consume too much disk space. I would like to know if there is a way to clean up the configuration/org.eclipse.osgi folder after closing the E4 application.

I tried these options in the config.ini file with no success:

osgi.embedded.cleanupOnSave=true
osgi.clean=true

Thanks,

There is no option to remove the osgi cache on shutdown. the osgi.embedded.cleanupOnSave option is looking for stale lock files and removing them. It does not cause the complete osgi cache to be removed. The osgi.clean option should remove the osgi cache on each startup.
