Description Paul Webster CLA 2011-04-28 11:53:40 EDT
I created an install with a shared bundle pool:

TARGET=$(pwd)/target
eclipse/eclipse -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director \
-noSplash -bundlepool $TARGET -shared $TARGET/p2 \
-destination $TARGET/win32_win32_x86 \
-profile SDKProfile_win32_win32_x86 \
-profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true \
-p2.os win32 -p2.ws win32 -p2.arch x86 -roaming \
-repository http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6 \
-installIUs org.eclipse.sdk.ide

It created $TARGET/linux_gtk_x86_64/eclipse.ini with an absolute
path:
-install
/opt/local/eclipse/multiPlatform/eclipse/linux_gtk_x86_64

But if I remove that path and try to start eclipse, it creates a configuration directory in the main $TARGET dir (which has the bundle pool and artifacts) instead of reading it from $TARGET/linux_gtk_x86_64/configuration

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
