Default location of copilot-language-server.exe requires binary execution rights outside safe locations #53
Description
Hi,
Our clients are set up so that a regular user is not allowed to run *.exe files outside of Program Files.
The copilot-language-server.exe is copied to org.eclipse.osgi\793\0\.cp\copilot-agent in Eclipse's configuration path. Because this lies outside of Program Files, the Copilot plugin fails to launch the language server due to:
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "<eclipse_config>\org.eclipse.osgi\793\0\.cp\copilot-agent\copilot-language-server.exe": CreateProcess error=1260, This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator
Please give us a way to configure a override or fallback path where the plugin can find the language server. This way we can ship it inside Program Files, a safe location.

Seems that a configuration to override the path would be a feasible solution.
Jascha Schröter (@MergingMonkey) Another idea is to use a system property in eclipse.ini. For example: -DcopilotLsPath.
Will this work for you?

Thanks for the feedback!
Both are fine to me. If the latter can be integrated faster, it would be my preferred solution.
