Enterprise Configuration of Workspace mechanic

问题

I am using Google's Workspace Mechanic to configure my eclipse environment. All seems to work fine, except that for any fresh installation, the workspace mechanic opens up with a default location of its own (~/.eclipse/mechanic) to look for preference files.

As given in their documentation i tried including their code

(/instance/com.google.eclipse.mechanic/mechanicSourceDirectories=/shared/eclipse/tasks\:${user_homedir}/.eclipse/mechanic)

in my plugin_customization.ini , but it does not work for me.

Does anyone have any other idea as to how to achieve this?

回答1:

Under Windows, I found that when using the recent Eclipse Juno and the latest Workspace Mechanic I had to do the following:

Edit the (Java EE):

...\Eclipse_Juno_SR1\plugins\org.eclipse.epp.package.jee_1.5.1.20120828-0743\plugin_customization.ini

and add the following line at the end:

com.google.eclipse.mechanic/mechanicSourceDirectories=c:\\...\\eclipse_extensions\\WorkspaceMechanics

in order for the plugin to recognize the above directory as the shared folder... The plugin preferences now correctly references the folder !

Quite late, but I just needed the same configuration.

First locate your plugin_customization.ini (eg. 'find -name plugin_customization.ini' in your eclipse folder). I had two files with same name, located in org.eclipse.platform and org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.

For me, the jee one was relevant and you can configure it as JSON Array.

com.google.eclipse.mechanic/mechanicSourceDirectories=["http\://server/mechanics/tasks.json","/tmp"]

This example shows how to configure a folder (/tmp) and via http location.

The documentation is for Eclipse on Linux/Unix. If you are running Eclipse on Windows you will need a different path.

Another aproch is to put the preferencces in another file and point to that file from your eclipse.ini with a line such as

-Declipse.pluginCustomization=/var/wsm/current/my.properties

or eclipse startup with

eclipse -pluginCustomization /var/wsm/current/my.properties

The following worked for me (for Eclipse Luna in Windows).

Open the Luna/plugins folder
Search for a folder that begins with org.eclipse.epp.package. (and I ended up with org.eclipse.epp.package.java_4.4.1.20140925-1820)
Go inside that folder and edit plugin_customization.ini
Append the following at the end (to point to \\sharedserver\share\DEV\Workspace-Prefs-Luna):

#Workspace Mechanic Settings com.google.eclipse.mechanic/mechanicSourceDirectories=\\\\\sharedserver\\share\\DEV\\Workspace-Prefs-Luna

Save and Close the file
Restart Eclipse
