The user home directory contains the users preferences for Oracle JDeveloper in the system subdirectory. It is also the default location for new projects in the \JDeveloper\mywork\ directory as well as other configuration files that are specific to a given user. To define the name of the user home environment variable: 1. Open the file MW_HOMEjdeveloperjdevbinjdev.boot in a text editor. Use an editor that recognizes UNIX end-of-line characters, such as WordPad. 2. Find the entry: ide.user.dir.var = JDEV_USER_HOME, JDEV_USER_DIR This is the default variable that Oracle JDeveloper will look for at startup. You can define or add any environment variable that Oracle JDeveloper should use. As the terminal server administrator, you may change the name of this variable to follow your systems naming conventions. 3. Save the file. If you are using WordPad, it will warn you that it is about to save the file in text-only format. You can ignore this warning. The user home directory can also be specified from the command line using this command: jdev.exe -J-Dide.user.dir=Path Examples: ■ jdev.exe -J-Dide.user.dir=D:\users\jdoe on Windows. ■ jdev.exe -J-Dide.user.dir=homeusersjdoe on Linux and UNIX.
