Creating Separate WPIlib Installs on one User
My team was recently accepted as a Beta Tester for the 2017 software. The eclipse plugins of the new software are different in ways that make previous year's code uncompilable when using them. In order to maintain backwards compatibility, we decided to manage two separate Eclipse installations. However, the WPIlib plugins always install to C:/Users/USER/wpilib. Is there any way to define this during installation? If not, what method would you recommend of maintaining backwards compatibility with the WPI plugins?

TL;DR
Is there any way to change the WPILib plugin installation directory?

Thanks so much,
Bradley Boxer
