Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-19697:
---------------------------------------

The following is the code (https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-base/blob/jbosstools-4.3.0.Alpha2x/runtime/plugins/org.jboss.tools.runtime.ui/src/org/jboss/tools/runtime/ui/internal/startup/JBossRuntimeStartup.java):

{code}
...
private static final String LOCATIONS_FILE_NAME = "runtime_locations.properties"; //$NON-NLS-1$
private static final String LOCATIONS_FILE = "../../../../studio/" + LOCATIONS_FILE_NAME; //$NON-NLS-1$
private static final String LOCATIONS_FILE_CONFIGURATION = "../../studio/" + LOCATIONS_FILE_NAME; //$NON-NLS-1$
...
private static File findRuntimeFile() {
try {
String pluginLocation = FileLocator.resolve(RuntimeUIActivator.getDefault().getBundle().getEntry("/")).getPath(); //$NON-NLS-1$
File serversFile = new File(pluginLocation, LOCATIONS_FILE);
if (!serversFile.isFile()) {
String configuration = getConfiguration();
serversFile = new File(configuration, LOCATIONS_FILE_CONFIGURATION).getCanonicalFile();
} else {
serversFile = serversFile.getCanonicalFile();
}
if (!serversFile.isFile()) {
serversFile = new File(pluginLocation,LOCATIONS_FILE_NAME);
}
if (serversFile.isFile()) {
return serversFile;
}
} catch(IOException ioe) {
RuntimeUIActivator.pluginLog().logError(ioe);
}
return null;
}
{code}

I suppose you have

pluginLocation=/Users/rasp/jbossqa/JBDS/9.0.0/Eclipse-runtime-test.app/Contents/Eclipse/plugins/org.jboss.tools.runtime.ui_<VERSION>
configuration=/Users/rasp/jbossqa/JBDS/9.0.0/Eclipse-runtime-test.app/Eclipse-runtime-test.app/Contents/Eclipse/

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: runtime-detection

> When I install JBDs 9.0.0.Alpha2 B24 BYOE into new Eclipse Mars M6 and new workspace, during the installation, suddenly the runtime detection config appears inside my Eclipse isntall dir:
> {code}
> $ find Eclipse-runtime-test.app/ -name 'org.jboss.tools.runtime.*.prefs'
> Eclipse-runtime-test.app//Contents/Eclipse/configuration/.settings/org.jboss.tools.runtime.ui.prefs
> {code}
> This is inside the file:
> {code}
> $ find Eclipse-runtime-test.app/ -name 'org.jboss.tools.runtime.*.prefs'|xargs cat
> eclipse.preferences.version=1
> runtimePaths=<?xml version\="1.0" encoding\="UTF-8" standalone\="no"?>\n<runtimePaths version\="2">\n  <runtimePath path\="/Users/rasp/jbossqa/runtimes/jboss-eap-6.3.0" scanOnEveryStartup\="false" timestamp\="-1">\n    <serverDefinitions>\n      <serverDefinition description\="" enabled\="true" location\="/Users/rasp/jbossqa/runtimes/jboss-eap-6.3.0" name\="JBoss EAP 6.3" type\="EAP" version\="6.3">\n        <included/>\n      </serverDefinition>\n    </serverDefinitions>\n  </runtimePath>\n</runtimePaths>\n
> {code}
> It contains /Users/rasp/jbossqa/runtimes/jboss-eap-6.3.0 which I use regularly when testing server tooling. But how did this happen?
> I looked for the pref file before I started BYOE installation. Then a bit later, a few minutes into the installation, I checked again and the file is there now.
> Can somebody explain what's going on?
> Note: This happened to me yesterday and it surprised me, but I wasn't sure if it wasn't my mistake somehow. But Max preferred I try again, so I did. And it is happening again now.
