Hi,
Is there a way to change the directory from where eclipse loads the
plugins?
I need this because now we are running eclipse remote and that makes it
very slow during startup. So if there is a way to change the plugin
directory to a local one it would be great. To run eclipse completly
local is not an option.
Thanks

Is this on a *nix system? If so, you could copy the Eclipse plugins locally
and create a symlink to the remote eclipse executable. Now your Eclipse
will use the local directory to load the plugins. This setup doesn't make
much sense though. Eclipse is almost entirely plugins so having them local
and leaving the few remaining pieces remote would'nt seem to buy you
anything.

Thanks for the answer, Dave!
Ok, but don't you think eclipse will run a little bit faster if all the
plugins are read locally instead of getting all the needed info remote?
(we will have over 1500 plugins soon). The reason that we don't want to
run everything locally is that we then can't have control over which
version everyone are using.
Do you have a suggestion how we could increase the startup time for eclipse?
Thanks

Martin,
Eclipse supports a links folder, just like the plugins folder, and it
can contain .link files that look like this:
path=<path-to-folder-containing-an-eclipse-folder>
The path must point to a folder that contains
eclipse/plugins/<additional-plugins> where the additional plugins will
be treated as if they appeared in the original/main eclipse's plugins
folder itself.

Your statement is confusing. Plugins define what version you are running.
Outside of plugins, there is only a small executable that starts up a jvm
which runs a startup class that then begins loading plugins. If everyone
copies plugins locally, then there is nothing left on the remote location
that effects versions.
