Subject: Re: Re: Eclipse on OSX - setting a different workspace?
Sorry for asking for the eclipse problem,
but this is the only place where I have found good infos
about this problem !
I have done, what Ulrich Köster worte, but it does not work for me.
Using:
mac osx 10.2.5 (including jdk1.4.1)
eclipse_R-2.1-200303272130
I used the "Property List Editor" to edit the Info.plist file,
tried to ad one of my new Lines as first and as last argument,
(tried to put the "Volume" infront of the Path)
<string>-data /Users/felix/workspace</string>
<string>-data /Macintosh:HD/Users/felix/workspace</string>
<string>-data /Macintosh%20HD/Users/felix/workspace</string>
But eclipse started every time with creating a new workspace in
/Applications/eclipse/...
Here my Info.plist file cuted out some lines:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
...
<key>Java</key>
<dict>
<key>Arguments</key>
<array>
<string>-noupdate</string>
<string>-consoleLog</string>
<string>-showlocation</string>
<string>-os</string>
<string>macosx</string>
<string>-ws</string>
<string>carbon</string>
<string>-data /Users/felix/workspace</string>
</array>
...
What I have made wrong?
May thanks for a help!
Best regards,
Felix.
