Description

Are there any options to pre-set the preference value for the GitHub Enterprise Authentication Endpoint, like some system property in eclipse.ini (e.g. -DgithubEnterprise=https://octocorp.ghe.com), which is written by whatever used installer mechanism (SDC here)?

Important here is to:

  • neither require the developer to manually enter this property,
  • nor to require the workspace to have some EPF file setting this property.

Thanks a lot!

Research direction

Start by locating how the GitHub Enterprise Authentication Endpoint preference is defined and how Eclipse startup or installer settings are applied. Compare the requested eclipse.ini system property, workspace EPF settings, and the SDC installer mechanism. Done means establishing whether a supported preconfiguration path exists without manual developer input or workspace-level EPF configuration.
