How to have a personal Eclipse config file with company's Eclipse installation? [message #192308] Tue, 06 February 2007 20:04 Go to next message

Hi,

All the information I read about setting up Eclipse is assuming I
installed Eclipse and I am the only one using it. But my case is: my
company installed it in linux and everybody uses it. I am wondering if I
can have my personal settings.

For example, I have purchased an Eclipse plugin (vi plugin). In my
personal computer(Windows XP), I have Eclipse and I know where to put vi
plugin to make it work. But I also want to use vi mode in company's
linux Eclipse. I don't know where to put my vi plugin. In company's
linux machine, I start Eclipse like:

>/usr/bin/Eclipse3.2 /home/www/eclipse_workspace/

Thank you for your help.

Please search on your Linux machine for following structure
eclipse/plugins.
/usr/bin/Eclipse3.2 is either a link to the eclipse executable or (more
probably) a script. Please open it and you should see the path to
eclipse. When you locate those structure, you can put your plugin
(anyway, is that legal?) in the same way like on XP machine.

Chris

Thank you for your reply. It is not legal to put my plugin in the
company's Eclipse plugins folder. Suppose I put my vi plugin there, then
all the people in the company using Eclipse will have vi mode. They can
turn it off. But that definitely is unacceptable.

So my question is, in such scenario, can I still have my own personal
plugins and not affecting other users?

Hi there again,
could you explain your company computers architecture?

Are you all using only one computer? Or what?
Or there is shared linux directories?

We use linux. Everybody program on the same computer or server, whatever
you call it. Everybody has his/her personal folder, like: /home/www/

Company has installed Eclipse. Everybody uses the the following command
to start Eclipse, with his/her personal workspace. For me, it is:

>/usr/bin/Eclipse3.2 /home/www/eclipse_workspace/

So, there is only one copy of Eclipse is installed here. My Java code is at:

/home/www/eclipse_workspace/projectA/src/Test.java

/home/www/eclipse_workspace/projectA/class/Test.class

/home/www/eclipse_workspace/projectB/src/Time.java

/home/www/eclipse_workspace/projectB/class/Time.class

.....

Thank you.

If the Eclipse directory permissions are set so that you have read only
access, Eclipse will create a private configuration area in you home
folder. You can install your own plugins into your private configuration
area and they will only be accessible to you.

Thank you very much. Now I understand better now:

>/usr/bin/eclipse -data /home/www/eclipse_workspace

I can have all my personal stuff in the folder
/home/www/eclipse_workspace, including plug-ins.

Thank you for your help.
