Windows-specific installation considerations
Reviewing the Eclipse installation directory structure
Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge provides a common location to install an
instance of the Eclipse framework for all Eclipse-based Progress products. This
eliminates the overhead of installing separate instances of the Eclipse framework for
each Eclipse-based product. The default PATH for the Eclipse framework and Progress
Eclipse-based products is C:\Progress\DeveloperStudio3.6.
