setting user.home in eclipse.init

I understand that eclipse considers HOME variable maintained in the environment variable for git configuration file. But I want to overwrite this by passing it as an argument from eclipse.init file. I maintained this info as follows,

-vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -Xms1024m -Xmx2014m -Duser.home=C:/personal

But somehow this value is not considered for creating .GitConfig file.

Could some one please tell is it right way to overwrite the value?

Thanks, Kitty

As you stated EGit is checking the environment variable HOME (see in the documentation Setting_up_the_Home_Directory_on_Windows).

But the environment variable HOME is not the same as the JVM option -Duser.home.

One solution could be to create a start script and define the environment variable before starting Eclipse.

set HOME=c:/personal
exclipse.exe
