Config Data Location of RCP Application [message #1851339]

Hello together,

it seems to be impossible to stop our RCP application to write its data to the %APPDATA%/ directory. We use eclipse 4.19. We tried the following:

-data
-configuration
-osgi.configuration.area
-osgi.instance.area

Nothing works. Eclipse is consequently ignoring the setted directory. it seems to be imposible to change the user data location in an RCP app, which is a major issue and a showstoper for our project.

Is that really the case?

These options are there to configure the locations, so it should be possible. Never tried it myself though.

Maybe this helps you: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39219829

Maybe your issue is similar to this, i.e., the configuration location must be writable.
