<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">Hi,<br /><br />I know this is not really a forum for Eclipse questions but I am trying to get this IDE operational so I can start developing java/python/jython tools for use with gvSIG.</p>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"></p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">My question is relatively stupid but some of you may have resolved it. Is anyone aware of how you can get Eclipse to install in some a directory other than your home directory?</p>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"></p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">When I installed using synaptic it installed in ~/.eclipse. I am trying to keep programs out of the home directory and would like to put the program in some other directory - like /opt, which is used for the gvSIG OADE program.</p>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"></p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">My aspiration, and I am nearly there, is to only have personal files or configuration files in my home directory. Company data files on separate partitions and software in a separate locality. This way core configuration files can be readily backup using packages like rsync.</p>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"></p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">It is worth noting hear that the standard install for gvSIG is in the home directory. Ideally the program should be placed in a separate directory and the configuration files put in ~/.gvsig, which appears to be standard in Ubuntu, rather than the current format.<br /></p>
