how to run junit test case in a customized Eclipse workspace? [message #1805796]

I created junit test by importing a project into a Eclipse workspace,
after running maven to build the product, I found the workspace located under the plugin which contains the junit testcase. /pluginname/work/data/,
under the data folder, I saw my imported project and .metadata, indicate that's the workspace.

However I want to set a workspace path at a filesystem, e.g. /home/productname/Testing.

I tried the following code to set the workspace manually, as suggested by other post.

Location instanceLoc = Platform.getInstanceLocation();
if (instanceLoc.isSet()) {
// release any previous location
instanceLoc.release();
String destination = "home/productname/Testing/";
URL value = new URL("file", null, destination); // $NON-NLS-1$
try {
instanceLoc.set(value, true);
} catch (IllegalStateException | IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

However it shows ` Cannot change the location once it is set.`

Anyone has any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

How do you run the unit tests? If you run it with "run as junit plugin tests", you can change the workspace location in the run configuration.
