Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2008-11-04 22:24:49 EST 
When the -install option is being set, framework admin does not take it into account which results in mis-calculated paths.
When fixing this we have to be careful with the interaction the -startup has with this option and also whether these two values can be specified in the config.ini
Comment 1 Andrew Niefer CLA 2008-11-05 16:23:46 EST 
-install will end up setting osgi.install.area.  This takes precedence over -startup.

the value for -install should be
1) an absolute file url. file:/path/eclipse
     A relative file url will not work as such urls are generally resolved against the osgi.install.area.

2) Not a URL.  An absolute path can be given.  A relative path that is not a file url will be resolved as new File(path), ie, against the current working directory.
