| Workbench saved state location [message #435822] |

Hi,
I have an RCP application deployed with Java Web Start, and I would like
the saved workbench state to follow users around when they move to other
machines.
Using the JNLP file I have set the osgi.instance.area and
osgi.configuration.area variables to point at @user.home, but
unfortunately that ends up pointing at C:\Documents and Settings\username.
I would like to use a location on the user's "home" network drive, but for
some users that is H: and for some users it is O:.
Is there anything I can do to compute the value for the saved state
location before it is required by the workbench?
Thanks,
Neil

Pascal,
Thanks for this, but I don't really follow you. How does the getLocation()
method of Platform allow me to SET the instance location?
Also the difference between instance location and configuration location
is not clear to me. Which of these is used to store the workbench state,
ie the last-open perspective and view arrangement?
Thanks,
Neil.
