Re: [cdt-dev] Possibly CDT gets installed in the wrong folder...

Fedja,
Are you sure the eclipse/plugins etc directories are writable?
This sounds like the behavior when eclipse is launched from a shared
location that isn't writable by the user - additional plugins/features
installed by the user go somewhere else (that is writable by the user); i
think this is it??

Well, I did send an email about this, but nobody seemed to respond to it,
si just in the case this doesn't get lost (if it is a real issue) here we
are again.

For the several build right now (starting with CDT 5.0 12/26/2007 and all
running on the SDK 12/13/2007-1700 (aka 3.4M4) or newer) I see this
behavior. It happens for the first install or any consectuive one with
newer build. Basically, CDT gets installed  in the
eclipse/configuration/eclipse/plugins instead of the eclipse/plugins, where
they used to be. Is this an intended behavior or just a bug?

CDT plugin was installed through the Help/Software Updates/Find Install.
Then selected Search for new features to install and selected "New Archived
Site..." where I located the latest CDT download. The rest was just
following the directions from the install. So, it wasn't just unzipped into
the wrong folder!

Thanks!
