| Re: [eclipse-dev] plugin link files with unc mapping part 2 |
There are general issues with running Eclipse from a UNC based path name. Please see: http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28656 Chris.Holden@equif ax.com To: eclipse-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent by: cc: eclipse-dev-admin@ Subject: [eclipse-dev] plugin link files with unc mapping eclipse.org part 2 04/23/2003 12:04 PM Please respond to eclipse-dev Greetings I have found the following information: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-update-home/doc/eclipse_update_packaging.html#Multiple%20Launch%20Points < http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-update-home/doc/eclipse_update_packaging.html > "The property path is a comma-separated list of optionally annotated install paths. The property value install-path is a full file path to the installation directory root, specified in local OS format. The optional annotation r or rw indicates whether Eclipse update support should allow the specified location to be used for updates. Default is to allow updates (w)." Am I wrong in assuming that this is a bug? unc is a local OS format but eclipse does not seem to handle it. Any plans to fix this in future releases? Thanks -Chris __________________ Greetings, With eclipse 2.0 are there any known issues if in the plugin link files there is a unc mapped drive and not a c: mapped drive? Specifically with Websphere Application Developer 5.0 in the eclipse/links directory there are files that link to specific plugins. I am using Merant PVCS Version Manager and it is linked to a unc mapped network drive for the plugin information. Does eclipse need to have a c: mapped drive and not unc mapping for those to work? Thanks -Chris
