On a multi user setup, Is it possible to install a feature/plugin in the SHARED INSTALL AREA? [message #1058371]

Hi All -

Good day! I need your help guys.

I have an RCP application that is on a multi setup type of environment.

Based on this: http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fmulti_user_installs.html

So when a UserA installs addtional features/plugin it only comes available at his profile and so does UserB. Each having their own "configuration area" which I think is fine.

However, I'd like to know if it is also possible to install a feature/plugin that will be "common" to all users (e.g. Subclipse)? So that each user wouldn't have to install that plugin over again.

So instead of putting the feature under the "user configuration area" it will put it in the "shared install area"?

Appreciate your help!
