I am new to eclipse.
I tried to install eclipse on a read-only media (CD-ROM). For reasons I
don't understands it wants to write back to the read-only media and
therefore doesn't run at all.
The second test I did was to change the access permission of the eclipse
folder and sub-folders on my HD to read only. Eclipse does change the folder
permissions silently back again - not very nice.
Is there a way to configure Eclipse to start properly from a read-only media
using the appropriate standard directories like %appdata%, %homepath%, the
Registry etc. to safe configurations and files?
Thanks, Philipp

Hi,
The reason is that eclipse needs to setup and use a directory called workspace, where it puts all your preferences, settings, etc., and by default the workspace is created in the same directory where the eclipse executable lives. Try starting eclipse specifying the workspace directory. To do that you start eclipse withe -data parameter as in
eclipse -data c:\myworkspace
You might want to create a shortcut and enter the above in the target field.
BTW Welcome to eclipse :-)
