Re: Creating Separate WPIlib Installs on one User

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,

What differences are you seeing? The only change should be the location of the CANTalon package in Java. I'd be interested in hearing what else isn't working properly for you.

Regarding the multiple packages, I believe those locations are hardcoded into the plugins. I will take a look and see if there is anything we can do.
