Method Detail

getHomePath

public static String getHomePath()

The thing is that we have two main #getHomePath implementations: here and in IDEA's PathManager#getHomePath. These almost always should return the same value, however the method here answers to the question where the MPS classes are located, while the IDEA's method answers where the IDEA classes are located. Also this paths are configurable from the outside by the properties. In MPS IDE we obviously have these two pointing to the same location, however in MPS IDEA plugin the one below point to the root of the mps-core plugin, while the IDEA's method returns the location of the IDEA distribution.

Returns:

the MPS home path
