Disclaimer: This issue is not intended for an end-users. Instead it focuses on tooling support for composer (such as the Composer-Eclipse-Plugin)

When packages installed, they are typically installed in the vendor directory. Though especially custom-installers change the path. One of the main features of the Eclipse-Composer-Plugin is to automatically manage the build-path, so that code-assist works seamlessly without any further user-interaction. For now, packages installed with a custom install path can't be automatically managed.

For these cases an install path "API" (maybe be another property in one of the json-files) would be handy and welcome to provide tooling support.

Thanks

This could probably be dumped in vendor/composer in a new file or as part of the installed.json.. anyway I may not have time for this in a while because it's not critical, but if you'd like to do it I'm not against it.

About a week ago I did something similar. I'll create a PR.

Is this still relevant? I am thinking if we got by without for so long it might be unnecessary complexity.

It still is, can't implement until this thing is done.

This has been done, it's now available in installed.json and through the InstalledVersions class at runtime
