Re: [platform-dev] Installing plugis to different directory

[Daniel Megert <daniel_megert@xxxxxxxxxx>]

1. create folder "links" as sibling of "plugins"
2. in "links" create a file called ".link" with the following content (of
course have to change the path):
path=C:/eclipse/customPlugins

Note: This works for me but I don't know whether this is a supported way of
doing it.

Hi,

I want to install eclipse plugins in a windows system in a dir that is'nt
/eclipse/plugins but something like /plugins; because I want to be able to
migrate to eclipse new version without remember which plugins I installed
in the old release.

I readed something about creating a directory called links under eclipse
but the explaination wasn't very clear.
