Description Paul Webster CLA 2014-12-17 09:55:58 EST 
I fired up orion with a new workspace and new user content location (different locations).  The server failed to start complaining that it couldn't write to a file:

Comment 2 Paul Webster CLA 2014-12-17 10:01:54 EST 
It's a problem in org.eclipse.orion.server.jettycustomizer.OrionJettyCustomizer

It assumes that the org.eclipse.orion.server.core.OrionConfiguration.getRootLocation() is the OSGi instance location, and that's not true.

Better to use org.eclipse.orion.server.core.OrionConfiguration.getPlatformLocation()
