I am trying to include a version of Eclipse in an installation package, that has been prepopulated with plugins from an update site.
I can include all of Eclipse’s files into my installer quite easily but when I run Eclipse on the target machine, the list of update sites is lost. E.g. When I run it on my own machine and select Help/Install new software… the “Work with” list contains the recently used update sites. When I run it on the target machine it is empty.
I have tested just copying my Eclipse folder from a network share onto the target machine and get the same results. However, when I run Eclipse directly from the network share the “Work with” list is populated as I would expect.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Alan
You most likely missed the configuration directory that is part of the users’ home directory (
${HOME}/.eclipsefor Linux).
