Dear Q, forgive me, if my reply is too long:
Here is what fails:
1) Install Eclipse 3.4.2 into e.g. /Developer/Applications/eclipse
2) Change the ownership of the install folder to root:admin
chown -R root:admin /Developer/Applications/eclipse
3) Start Eclipse as a non-admin user
At this point Eclipse works OK. It will use ~/.eclipse/ for user-
based config files
4) Install WOLips using the Software Manager in Eclipse
Eclipse will fail to start when restarted at the end of the
installation of WOLips
Here is what works:
1) Install Eclipse 3.4.2 into e.g. /Developer/Applications/eclipse
2) Change the ownership of the install folder to your account (non-
admin joeuser)
chown -R joeuser:joeuser /Developer/Applications/eclipse
3) Start Eclipse as joeuser
4) Install WOLips using the Software Manager in Eclipse
At this point Eclipse works OK.
It will NEVER use ~/.eclipse/ for user-based config files.
The folder ~/.eclipse/ is not even created.
Thanks for trying to reproduce this. I appreciate it.
Best regards
Rudy
