Is it possible to delete a folder from a eclipse.ini file?

Question

I have searched many links, can anybody let me know if it's possible to delete a complete folder by mentioning the location of the folder in the eclipse.ini file?

I checked this link, but couldn't find anything conclusive.

http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/runtime-options.html

Example: Can I do something like

-launcher.deleteFolder C:/xyz/xxx

in eclipse.ini file ?

Answer 1

You have several options.

Insert -clean argument in the eclipse.ini file

Hook a shell or batch script to the eclipse.exe that deletes the specified files

Insert -clean argument on the eclipse.exe shortcut

The RCP Framework stores configuration detail in two ways: either "something". OR "something". 或"something". (can't remember the exact file names). （不记得确切的文件名）。 Clearing these files can be done from within the source code.

Personally, I would go with the batch version; but the cleanest and most stylish method is clearing from source code.

Please leave a comment if any of these suggestions helped you in any way.
