When I run my Eclipse RCP application, it creates a whole lot of directories in my $HOME/.eclipse directory. What is this?

I don't want the files there, how can I hinder them from getting there? The rational for this: the application must run very clean and only leave files at one specific location (not $HOME/.eclipse).

I'd figured it was controlled by osgi.instance.area so tried to set this to different values (a directory, @none, @noDfault etc...) but can't stop the application from creating directories in $HOME/.eclipse. -data and other arguments works as expected.
