Hi,
All our college labs have deployed eclipse3.0 (soon 3.0.1 since 3.0 has =
a bug that does not allow network users run the appl). Each time the lab =
machine reboots, it erases all data the previous user puts on it. As you =
know, it is a public machine. So my question is that could students have =
all the project specific information stored in a portable media, say =
diskette? So next time when students login and place project specific =
information into a specific dir, eclipse will pick the info correctly. =
So students will not have to start from scratch. If so, please tell me =
how to do it.
Any insights are very very appreciated.

Starting eclipse with the -data parameter pointing to the portable media
will create the workspace on the portable media. Unchecking the Use
Default Location for new projects and specifying a directory on the
portable media will cause the project but not the workspace to be portable.

Thanks Dave. It works greatly.

BTW, our college is Mercy College located at Westchester county of NY, about
30 minutes north to NYC.
We can share our experience if any of you are doing college-wide deployment.
For example, what is the best way to keep eclipse up to date (takes time to
push out to all labs of more than six campus), how to deal with public
machine vs. personal machine, how to convince faculty member and students to
use them. Are there good books for college use, etc.
Personally I use eclipse for over two years when I was at IBM. But personal
application development and college wide usage have different challenging.
We may start a newsgroup for all college usage issues.
