I have created an installation configuration to use with our development team. It works correctly for the "installation" section. It successfully installs Eclipse for JEE Developers 2023-09, makes changes to eclipse.ini, and installs a Weblogic Server Tools for Eclipse.
I would also like it to create an empty workspace with a specific name as part of the setup. I would prefer that it not prompt the user for workspace information.
There is no project being setup at this point. That will be cloned from git later on (requires vpn, login, and 2 factor authentication). The developer will do this step manually for now.
I have the below section included in the <setup:configuration> file, but no workspace is created. It just prompts the user for the workspace information during setup.
<workspace
name="workspace-drb-2023-09"
label="DRB Eclipse 2023-09 Workspace">
<description>
The DRB Eclipse 2023-09 Installation workspace provides
cool stuff.
</description>
</workspace>
After I find out how to do this, I want to add a Database Driver definition, but I will start another topic for that.
I am using Eclipse Installer version 2023-09. I have read everything I can get my hands on and have enlisted ChatGPT to help as well, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marty

A workspace is created by a Workspace task which is in the root of each Project Catalog:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:WorkspaceTask
xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
id="workspace"
location="${user.home/special-workspace}"/>
It's location is generally prompted, when the location is empty, based on the rules that determine where it is to be located, but you can set the location as you wish.
