Hi,

I have a situation where we do not want .metadata to be present within a workspace.
Every time I click on headless exe, .metadata is created which is needless for me.

Does anyone know how to restrict the creation of .metadata or anything related?

You can use the -data @none argument to a headless RCP to specify that no workspace should be created. You can also set the environment variable osgi.instance.area=@none for this.

See the Eclipse runtime options help for more details.

for headless plugin creation please refer the below link

See the "Locations" section on the Eclipse runtime options page. You should be able to set the instance location (aka the workspace) to `@none`. From the command-line, try with `-data @none`.
