Bug 123138

Description Doug MacDonald 2006-01-09 13:59:27 EST

We have been dealing with support for multiple users and the following scenario occurred:

1. install eclipse into a directory that only has write access for the current user
2. log off the os and login as a different user
3. try to launch eclipse

Since the second user does not have write access (specifically to the configuration directory), eclipse fails to launch and a message tells the user to look at the log file for more info. The log has the exception below. It would be nice if the eclipse launcher could detect if the user has the appropriate write access and if not then display a message that indicates the user does not have enough access to run eclipse.
