Re: [eclipse-dev] Eclipse creates runtime-workspace in common area
|
The default run-time workspace location works the same way as the default
workspace - it is set to the product install tree, which is obviously wrong
for shared/read-only installs.
To run in those configurations, specify an alternative location for the
run-time workspace using the provided entry in the launch configuration
dialog.

Please respond to
eclipse-dev
I've come across a problem with Eclipse trying to create a directory
under its install dir.
When you have a plug-in project and select Run > Run As > Run-time
workbench, a directory called runtime-workspace is created beneath the
directory where Eclipse itself is installed. Clearly, this cannot
work on a multi-user system where that directory is shared between
users, but I'm not sure where the runtime-workspace directory should
go.
I would have expected any scratch area that Eclipse creates must be
below the data area specified by "-data". This patch puts the
runtime-workspace there.
Andrew.
