[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: -clean, -data wierdness

ok, if the top level is read-only, the config is written to a location under
your user.home
(which would probably be  your home directory on unix/linux, or C:\Documents
and Settings\your_user_id on Windows).
Then look for a directory called .eclipse and its subfolders.

Take a look at the following bug for some discussion (this was when update
owned the location, but
the framework has more or less used the same code)
