RCP - move "configuration" folder to some user-specific path? [message #263181] Thu, 22 July 2004 10:19 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello,

is there a way to have all variable ("state") information stored in a
user-specific path instead of below the RCP installation directory?
I'd like to deploy an RCP application to a Citrix MetaFrame server
farm, and this would require that multiple concurrent sessions use the
same installation path - I'd like to have predictable, user-specific
results though. I hope I'm not askiing to be spoon-fed here, I'd be
grateful for a pointer...

Thanks,

-- Jan

in eclipse 3.0 the preferences framework has changed quite a bit from 2.1

a good reading is this:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-core-home/documents/user_settings/faq.html

when you want to specify the location of your preferences (other than the
default ones INSTANCE, CONFIGURATION, PROJECT, DEFAULT etc) you would have
to implement the IScopeContext with its getLocation() methode. Or extend
the AbstractScope.

I had already read that, but what I was trying to ask was whether it
was possible to change not the logical hierarchy (ie. scope) in which
to store the preferences, but to store them in a different filesystem
path for each user (actually a Windows user profile). From my
understanding, scopes won't help me with that, or will they?

Thanks,

I now see the light. Don't bother responding to my previous follow-up.
