I have eclipse installed on a distributed file system to allow users to
bring up my eclipse app without having to install it themselves (and to
save file space). I added the -data parm to give everyone their own
workspace. What I would like to do is allow uses to select their own
workspace and check the box to not show the dialog if they desire.
However this does not work when multiple people are running from the
same install. The workspace setting is stored under the configuration
directory and all users get the settings for that last one to run. Is
there some other way to do this?
Another question is that I do not want most users to have write
authority to the install directory. Will there be problems because they
will not be allowed to update files in the configuration directory?
By the way I am running with M9 on AIX

When running with a read only install, each user will run off their own
private configuration (which points to the shared one).
After you install eclipse, run it first with -initialize to create the
master configuration.
