Linux Configurations with Multiple Users and multiple products. [message #255400] Thu, 24 June 2004 13:50 Go to next message

Hello,
Currently (3.0) if the installation directory is readonly then eclipse
stores configuration information in the $HOME/.eclipse directory. This
works fine if you are only using one instance of eclipse. If you have a
couple of different products installed each running on an eclipse 3.0
the what is the method the products can use to make their user
configuration directory unique?

So I'd like to be able that instead of using $HOME/.eclipse I'd like to
be able to specify say $HOME/.myproduct.

If I'm correct, this should happen for free if a product is defined in
your application and listed in your config.ini (eclipse.product).

If this is not the case, you can set in your shared install the
"osgi.baseConfiguration.area" property to "@user.home/.bar".
This value is read very early in the boot process, interpreted and then
used as the configuration area.

Let me know if this works. I'm telling you all that from memory.
