Hi Guido,
IIRC. Ed has applied the changes needed to support shared installs in
469279: Oomph Setup causes various Error Reports and makes "Help > About > Installation Details" fail, if the
Eclipse install is read-only owned by another user
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=469279
The changes should be available in Mars.0. What installer version are you using?
I'm personally unexperienced with shared installs and I don't use Linux, but maybe Martin Oberhuber, who tested Ed's
changes, can add some comments about what you're trying to do...
Cheers

After having talked to Ed, here's a correction to my former statement:
Ed only applied changes that were needed to make downloaded and unzipped packages work in shared installs.
He opened a bugzilla to track possible enhancements to the Oomph installer:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=469837
So, bottom line is: That does currently not work.
Cheers

Sounds like a good opportunity to contribute to Oomph ;-)

Yes.

Correct.

Hard to say, but in theory it could be simpler than with bundle pool support. I vaguely remember that we found code in
the Platform that makes it even impossible to use shared installs with bundle pools via the "old type method", but I
have no time to research that in detail now.

Here's Martin's reply, which reached me privately:
Hi,
The key point when using eclipse-installer for a shared multi-user install is, that you need to turn off the bundle pool.
In the installer UI, click the 3 bars ("options") and turn off Bundle Pools.
I've personally installed from a "su" commandline, so I don't know about gksudo and desktop icons.
But I'm not sure if it's the eclipse-installer's job dealing with these. Shouldn't eclipse be packaged by the distribution
provider for ideal desktop integration with a specific distribution ?
Thanks,
Martin

Unfortunately I'm not a linux expert and I neither know what a Unity dash interface is, nor what an eclipse.desktop file
does. Am I right that the meaning of this file depends on the window manager? To which ones would it apply and what
would it do there?
