Description Simon Kaegi

I'm using the agent to provision an SDK and am finding the install area is wrong for the new profile. I'm expecting the install area to be the location of the profile (e.g. co-located with eclipse.exe) but instead it is p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse. I'm guessing that this is because it will use a calculation relative to the location to org.eclipse.osgi by default??

I have tried forcing the osgi.install.area in the config.ini and I end up with something even more weird: an eclipse folder (with nested configuration folder) in  my eclipse install!

I think what is busted here is the logic being used by main or the framework to determine the install location. Basing it on the osgi.jar location when more context (eclipse.exe, or a property) is available does not seem to be a good guess since it forces eclipse to be in a certain shape.

CC'ing Tom and Andrew for comment (meta-note, I think our handling of location is not consistent depending on how the system is started - indeed I believe there is already such a bug against the fwk or runtime).

This appears to be a dup of bug 204341.
