osgi.clean in config.ini [message #444111]

We have an RCP app with the following entry "osgi.clean=true" in my
/configuration/config.ini file. The 'clean' (true) setting cleans both the
eclipse extension registry data AND the caches used to store bundle
dependency resolution. However, we want to clean only the eclipse
extension registry data. We DO NOT want to clean the caches used to store
bundle dependency resolution. Is there any way to do this withinn the RCP
framework?

The 'clean' means 'clean everything'. There's no option to have 'clean something'.

What you could do if you wanted is find out which data that you wanted to persist in each of the .metadata/plugins/org.eclipse.?/ directories, and then selectively remove the ones you didn't want (or conversely, left the ones that you wanted to keep).

It's bad practice to have the osgi.clean=true in general, though, so the question has to be what is it exactly that you are trying to clean?

I want to clean ONLY the eclipse extension registry data - more
specifically, the cache of views (Window-->Show View-->Other). When we do
a plugin update (not via UpdateManager nor via WebStart - it is a
proprietary application/file update mechanism) view/s may have been
added/removed and naturally we want those changes to reflect.

Thanks
Scott
