title: Unable to create AVD manager - Configuration area not writable
body: <p>I can't create an AVD Manager. I've tried via 'Create new Android Device Manager' menu option, but when I hit OK nothing happens.
  If I run the monitor file in the tools folder I get an error saying that the configuration area at /Users/user_name/.eclipse/ is not writable.</p>
  
  <p>That makes sense, because I am running OSX 10.9.3 Mavericks and directories at the top levels of the file system are not writable. Logging in as root didn't help. Does anyone know how to choose a writable location for the config area? I've tried researching the issue but couldn't find any meaningful information.</p>
