Re: [equinox-dev] it is possible to load config.ini from a different location other than -configuration ?
Hi,

Yep, I've tried to debug the source code using it now... But didn't help

In order to load the config.ini, equinox uses the PROP_CONFIG_AREA variable to compose config.ini location.

If I use the FRAMEWORK_STORAGE pointing to a different location other than the -configuration args, equinox will set the PROP_CONFIG_AREA to its value.

// Initializes the Location objects for the LocationManager.
        // set the osgi storage area if it exists
        String osgiStorage = equinoxConfig.getConfiguration(Constants.FRAMEWORK_STORAGE);
        if (osgiStorage != null)
            equinoxConfig.setConfiguration(PROP_CONFIG_AREA, osgiStorage);
------
try {
            location = new URL(configArea.getURL().toExternalForm() + CONFIG_FILE);
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            // its ok.  This should never happen
        }


And what will happen is that the config.ini will not be found :(


so seems not to be possible to do what I want in current version... unless there is something that I'm missing...

thanks

I think the eclipse launcher supports those as system properties.

Hello,

I'm trying to set Equinox to run as a linux systemd service.

I set the service to launch using java -jar org.eclipse.osgi -configuration /etc/myapp.

The idea was to install config.ini (set as conffile) at /etc/myapp and let the configuration data to be created at /var/lib/myapp directory.

I tried many configurations combination but it always try to create storage directories relative to where config.ini file is, which gives some errors due the fact that user which is starting it do not had permissions to create directories inside /etc dir.

one alternative that comes to mind was to create a symlimk in etc/myapp/config.ini  pointinf to var/lib/myapp/config.ini.

anyway, I would be grateful for any opinion.

thanks,

Cristiano
