[News.eclipse.technology.packaging] changing the upload URL

[david.samuelsson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (David )]

Hello, i am trying to utilize UDC to see if i can get it working 
internally for my users. I have set up everything including the database 
and php with an apache server. I started eclipse with the 
"-Dorg.eclipse.epp.usagedata.recording.upload-url=path-to-internal-apache2" 
I got an message in the consolelog saying:

!SESSION 2009-07-14 15:53:07.483 
-----------------------------------------------
eclipse.buildId=I20090611-1540
java.version=1.6.0_12
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=sv_SE
Framework arguments:  
-Dorg.eclipse.epp.usagedata.recording.upload-url=http://internalmachine:8080/upload.php
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -consolelog 
-Dorg.eclipse.epp.usagedata.recording.upload-url=http://internalmachine:8080/upload.php

all is good right! i then tried to run the upload from within preferences 
and i got an error from the consolelog saying:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.epp.usagedata.recording 2 0 2009-07-15 08:54:50.577
!MESSAGE The usage data upload server at http://udc.eclipse.org/upload.php

Didn't the property change? i can see in the apache if an log request has 
come but it haven't even attempted to get upload.php. Which leads me to 
think there is something other that still pushes the eclipse client 
towards udc.eclipse.org/upload.php. Has anyone else tested this and found 
that you needed to edit the source to be able to use the udc features?

thanks for any hints, and this cool feature :-)
