How to move .eclipse folder?

问题:

I am using Spring System Tool Suite. The IDE creates an additional folder named .eclipse in my @user.home folder. How can I move the .eclipse folder to somewhere else and make the Spring STS use the new path (instead of recreating and using a new .eclipse folder in @user.home)?

I didn't see an option to change that location by default (it happens when the install is read-only and a user needs a writable configuration area). You could alway try and pass in a better configuration area to osgi.configuration.area. See Setting the private configuration area for the suggested option and Runtime Options for more information in general.
