Hi!
How do I install myeclipse as a group install for a group of unix developers? Just bought a group license. I want it to work for the developers without them having to enter any subscription keys, or browse and find any paths for myeclipse. The eclipse & myeclipse (manual install) installations are on an NFS mounted disk. The disk is read-only for the workstations where I can run the GUI.
I assume I can add a xx.link file as <eclipse-install>/eclipse/links/com.genuitec.eclipse.links, but the docs don’t say where to point in the “path=” element. Where shall it point?
Once the link file is in place, where do I put the subscription codes, without having every developer entering the codes themselves?
Hope this is not too confusing? For a unix sysadmin, this is the way to install software, so I am a bit surprised that I cannot find any info about this? Perhaps I haven’t searched well enough?
Where shall it point?
To the MyEclipse install dir (e.g. /opt/myeclipse-3.8.4)
Once the link file is in place, where do I put the subscription codes
The subscription code is currently stored in the workspace, we have an open enhancement request to put it in a more global location for users using multiple workspaces. For the time being your developers will all need to enter it just once, OR you can create a ‘core’ workspace that they can start with that has it already entered.

Understood. Because the license information is loaded/stored using standard Eclipse preference mechanism, it ends up in the workspace so the only nice way I can think of working around this is to precreate a default workspace for your developers to import and use (just download and unzip a file, then do File > Switch Workspace and point at it).

Ah, cool. I though the name of the links file was important, but it seems it is not. Fine!

OK. Looking forward to that enhancement. 8)
In the mean time, we just all have to enter the code, it is not such a big deal – the first point was more important.Thanks,
