Description Helmut J. Haigermoser CLA 2011-12-20 11:14:52 EST
Build Identifier: 

Our product puts all configuration data in the users home. This is done via config.ini slot using the "osgi.configuration.area" key.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Share local directory C:\dir as \\<local host name>\dir
2. Extract fresh Eclipse into C:\dir
3. Drop RXTX into C:\dir\eclipse\dropins
4. Modify config.ini to include 
osgi.configuration.area=@user.home/.workbench-3.3.2.20111028-1147_@install.hash/configuration

5. Start up Eclipse via \\<local host name>\dir\eclipse\eclipse.exe
6. Help->About Eclipse SDK -> Installation Details

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.
