Description

Does anyone have a reliable workaround to automatically accept the default installation path when prompted? Specifically for ide eclipse-jee.

I tried using "yes", but then it doesn't set the default installation path at all and installs it into the void. "Expect" also gets confused, what I need is to set the installation path directly:

umake ide eclipse-jee --path "/home/vagrant/.local/share/umake/ide/eclipse-jee"

This would make umake useful in automatic configuration management tools (e.g. chef).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add a command line parameter ' path' to the umake CLI to specify installation path directly, avoiding interactive prompts. This will allow using umake in automated scripts.
