Using eclipse on Windows2003 with multiple users [message #332797]

Hi,

I have eclipse ganymede installed (unzipped) on a single Windows 2003
server.

When freshly unzipped it did not have the 'configuration' folder.
It was created on first start (but saved my choice of the workspace
location)

When other users (on the same machine) use this eclipse they get the same
configuration (which was created when I used it for the first time)

Is there some kind of command/ commad-line argument whereby the
'configuration' folder is created NOT inside <drive>\eclipse
but under the logged in users profile (c:\documents and settings\xyz)

My environment:
OS: Windows 2003 server
Eclipse: Version: 3.4.0; Build id: I20080617-2000

Hi,

we use

-configuration "%appdata%\eclipse34"

as a command line option, actually as part of the programs link
properties.

Great thanks.

but it needs to be supplied ONLY as a command line parameter

Making an equivalent entry in eclipse.ini does not work.
My eclipse.ini ....

-showsplash
-configuration
${APPDATA}\eclipse34
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin\javaw.exe

...end

Any idea how command shell environment variables can be refrenced in INI
files?

There is a way to initialize eclipse so that it will auto-create a
per-use configuration from then on. Check out:
