Hi,

If you run a new RCP application or if you create a new runtime
configuration for a plug-in the runtime configuration is populated with
some values.

I would like to change the default value for the location of the runtime
configuration.

Currently the location in which the Eclipse application is started
defaults to:
${workspace_loc}/../runtime-NAMEOFPROJECT.application

I would like to change the default ${workspace_loc}/.. to another place,
e.g. c:\temp\

Is this possible?

Best regards, Lars

I believe you are talking about running your RCP app from an
Eclipse. If that is the case you can edit the Launch Configuration and
point to a location you want.

Hi,

thanks for the reply, but unfortunately this was not my question.

I would like to know if the default workspace location in a new runtime
configuration can be changed.

Of course I can change the default workspace location every time manually
but it would like to change it once for all future runtime configurations.


Best regards, Lars

I don't think its configurable.

There is a trick.
Go to Window -> Preferences -> Run/Debug -> String Substitution
Add a new variable by the name workspace_loc and give a value C:\temp\dummy (this way
${workspace_loc}/.. will resolve to c:\temp)

However, in case you have used this variable in launch arguments, that will be impacted too. So be
careful.
