Yes, I think you just can't be sure where absolute locations will be
stored both in the workspace and even in the installation (configuration
folder) once it has been launched in a non-readonly location...

The help has a bunch of options, but none that covers your use case as

That said, I did see this commit come through
https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/equinox/rt.equinox.framework/+/179406
<https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/equinox/rt.equinox.framework/+/179406>
and it may add a new option from 2021-06 of @launcher.dir, but that
seems so far only implemented to resolve (and allow relocation of)
the install area, rather than the workspace.
Also, do you have a special use case? because AFAIK workspaces are not
relocatable. Certainly JDT / CDT put absolute paths in the workspace
metadata.
HTH,

I want to place an Eclipse-Install + its workspace on an USB
drive, of
course, depending on the computer where I do plug this into the drive
letter / path might change. At best I could have a Layout similar to
what the eclipse-installer produces:
/eclipse
/ws
If I use the simple approach:
-Dosgi.instance.area=../ws
this is placed in the current working(!) directory but not
relative to
the /eclipse folder...
What I have tired so far (without success):
- @config.dir/<somepath>
- reference:<somepath>
