It's so stupid that I'm almost ashamed by it, but anyway, here it goes:
See the attached Info.plist and OSXBoot.java:
- Info.plist has been modified to specify a property available through MRJ:
The "bundle" system property will contain the directory where the bundle
is stored on disk, and therefore from there we can simply figure out
where eclipse itself is installed (inside the Contents/Resource/Eclipse
sub directory).
- OSXBoot.java simply invokes the "main" method of
"org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main with some extra parameters:
-install file://$BUNDLE/Contents/Resources/Eclipse/
and
-data $HOME/Library/Eclipse
So, you can have eclipse shipping self contained in its own little bundle
(and not care much where it gets copied), and each user has his own
environment, projects, settings and so on...
