Specify Userdata location... [message #1419244]

Hi folks,
I have a problem here with our Eclipse 3.8 based RCP application.
I want to specify the location of the userdata directory explcitly. I tried out all possible osgi flags in the ini file; none of them works.
The application writes its userdata in the %APPDATA%/subdir/aplicationName directory.

Where in the plugin, product configuration is the directory name defined?

Thanks...

Hi Philipp.

The workspace location is set via the osgi.instance.area and osgi.instance.area.default properties. There are some examples of how you can integrate this with a p2.inf file as part of your build. You can use platform filters in your p2.inf to set values appropriate to each platform. These seem to be:

OSX: @user.home/Library/Application Support/<<app>>
Linux: @user.home/.config/shared/<<app>>
Win32: @user.home/Application Data/<<app>>
