[Gvsig_english] QUESTION gvSIG 1.9 (BN 1253) -- Eclipse Setup on Ubuntu

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Hi,

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
