Re: [p2-dev] avoiding uninstalling an RCP application

[Pascal Rapicault <Pascal_Rapicault@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Right now you would have to tweak manually the most recent .profile file and set the property there. Check in an existing profile to see how we set properties.
On the other hand, if you have time, I think you are much better off attaching a patch to the bug mentioned.

Thanks Pascal, 
considering that the product is built headless in two stages (see below) : 
can you just please tell explicitly when and where (in which file) should I set that property ? 

1) 
                <java jar="${launcher.jar}" jvm="${javaexec}" fork="true" failonerror="true"> 
                        <jvmarg value="-Xms256m" /> 
                        <jvmarg value="-Xmx768m" /> 
                        <arg line="-clean" /> 
                        <arg line="-application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner" /> 
                        <arg line="-buildfile ${productBuild.xml}" /> 
                        <arg line="-Dbuilder=@{build}" /> 
                        <arg value="-Dproduct=@{product}" /> 
                        <arg value="-Dconfigs=${configs}" /> 
                        <arg line="-DbuildDirectory=@{build}" /> 
                        <arg line="-DbaseLocation=@{eclipse}" /> 
                        <arg line="-DbuildType=${buildType}" />
