redirect configuration / p2 runtime data to non-default location #521

Closed gireeshpunathil closed 2 months ago

gireeshpunathil commented 2 months ago

use case: we want to install an eclipse based product in windows and share it among a number of users. hence we install it in a common folder (such as C:\Program Files\...). however, non-admin users are unable to run it properly, as the runtime configuration changes are not persisted because of the lack of permission in the installation location.

is there a way to redirect all the configuration / p2 related runtime persistence be redirected to another location, such as user's home folder?
