Description Thomas Watson CLA 2009-09-10 15:00:29 EDT
p2 supports basic install layouts well, but has some limitations preventing more advanced layouts. We will improve the flexibility and configurability of p2-based installs to provide better support for multi-user installs, and make greater use of relative paths to allow installs to be relocated.

We will not address this in 3.6 and given the lack of details on the requirements, I'll close it as wontfix. Please reopen bugs with more details about what is needed.
