Martin Malina commented on JBIDE-25901:
---------------------------------------

[~adietish] we're discussing this issue with Rob ATM and we ended up agreeing that probably not that much needs to change. Once we're done we will sum up the current functionality and add it to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RHDEVDOCS-724 to be documented.

As to what $MINISHIFT_HOME is for: In CLI, by default, ~/.minishift is used for storing of all the data, but you can change this by defining your MINISHIFT_HOME env var and pointing it to another directory. That way minishift/cdk will use that directory instead.

There was a feature request a while back to support this variable in devstudio, i.e. use the custom directory instead of the default (if $MINISHIFT_HOME is set for the Eclipse process). But it turns out that this is quite a pain to do right - you don't always want to use this, especially if you download a new CDK binary directly in Eclipse.

> Following some of the changes to how cdk and runtime detection works (most notably that path to cdk binary can now be used for searching), I wanted to try and see if $MINISHIFT_HOME is still respected and works properly. And it seems to fail.
> I started devstudio with MINISHIFT_HOME=/Users/rasp/minishift_home, then ran runtime detection against /Users/rasp/tmp where a cdk binary was found. But the newly created adapter had this set up as minishift home: /Users/rasp/tmp/MINISHIFT_HOME
> That seems totally wrong.
