Description Stefan Stern CLA 2010-07-15 05:21:48 EDT 
Build Identifier:  I20100608-0911

If the launcher.ini defines the configuration folder with the argument -configuration, then the Parser will set the proper value. If the according Java property is set (osgi.configuration.area), then this option is ignored and instead the default "configuration" is used. 

Result is, that e.g. the P2 director application will fail, if trying to install an IU into a product which defines its configuration location not by using -configuration but using -vmargs and -Dosgi.configuration.area.

Reproducible: Always

I got a patch ready, including a fix and a UNIT Test to verify the solution. But I can't create a patch atm, as CVS always breaks with the message "connection reset". 

I will try later again

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
