Eclipse RCP - Multi User Installation using Windows Environment Variables <p>I have an Eclipse RCP application.</p> <p>At startup this RCP application creates a folder for the "configuration area" <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/multi_user_installs.html" rel="nofollow">(see eclipse help) </a>.</p> <p>Currently I pass a hardcoded path to the -configuration parameter in the launcher .ini file to define the location where this folder for the "configuration area" should be located.</p> <p>So far, this is working fine.</p> <p>Now the requirement of a customer is, that this "configuration area" should be saved in the roaming profile of the Windows user.</p> <p>The location of the roaming profile is defined by the Windows environment variable APPDATA. But this location does not corespond to the Java <em>user.home</em> directory, which points to a shared network drive in the case of my customer.</p> <p>How can I implement this requirement?</p> <p>As far as I found out, the only variables I can use in the launcher .ini are @user.home and @user.dir <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/runtime-options.html" rel="nofollow">(see Eclipse runtime options)</a>. Both seem to be useless for my scenario.</p> <p>There is a <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=102239" rel="nofollow">bug on the Eclipse Bugzilla</a> since 2005 that seems to address exactly my issue. But it is not resolved, and there seems not much demand in resolving the issue. So I am wondering how other people are dealing with similar scenarios?</p> <p>Any help for setting up an Eclipse RCP multi-user scenario using Windows Roaming Profiles is greatly appreciated...</p>
