Does config.ini have to be in the "configuration" directory? [message #99190]

Sorry, I browsed a large number of posts and could not see any info on this.
I'd like to have config.ini in the same directory as my equinox bundles, NOT
in the configuration subdirectory. Is there a commmand line switch that
will allow me to specify where to read config.ini from?

(I've been unable to find dcomenmtation on the command line options for
starting equinox is there a place to look -- even a reference to the source
code that parses the options would be fine....)

No, a bunch of these things are horribly hard-coded. I've argued that they should be more dynamic in the past, but I've been pushing that since 3.1 days and it's not likely to change any time soon.

You could look at the runtime options, which includes -configuration or osgi.config.area which allows you to punt the configuration directory somewhere else, but it's still all in one.

Okay, thanks for the reply... I guess I'll have to live with it.
