| [Eclipse 3.4] Using multiple configurations with a shared installation [message #329532] |

Up to Eclipse 3.4 I've been using to start Eclipse the following way:
eclipse -configuration <cfg_path> -data <wsp_path>
I'm using number of configuration areas setup with different
extension location sets. I eventually run:
eclipse -initialize
of the main shared configuration to improve startup time (as
suggested in the documentation [1]) but I haven't really seen much
improvement, if at all.
Now with the Eclipse 3.4 release I observe I can no longer use this
approach. If I specify a -configuration different from the shared
one I get a workbench with some minimal set of features ("Resource",
"Team Synchronizing" and "Debug" - no "Java").
FWIW, I've noticed an additional "p2" directory gets created in the
same parent directory of the configuration directory location I've
specified.
Is it possible (and how) to use multiple configurations with a
shared installation of Eclipse 3.4?

I don't know what happens but seems it works in some cases, in some
cases it doesn't. The following case always makes Eclipse 3.4 start
the way I've described above:
1. Extract Eclipse to "I:\ecl\eclipse";
2. Change the current directory to "I:\ecl\eclipse" and start it using:
eclipse -console -configuration I:\ecl\cfg -data I:\ecl\wsp
I don't see any error reported. If I change the command line to:
eclipse -console -configuration I:\tmp\cfg -data I:\tmp\wsp
It works just fine.

FWIW, I'm using the Java EE package (eclipse-jee-ganymede-win32.zip).
