I downloaded the latest release

spring-tool-suite-3.1.0.RELEASE-e3.8-linux-gtk-x86_64-installer.sh

To install I did a su - root

and then

sh /download-directory/spring-tool-suite-3.1.0.RELEASE-e3.8-linux-gtk-x86_64-installer.sh

During installation, I said yes to the install directory /root/springsource

It got installed user /root - That was perhaps a bad idea.

Can I move the spring source directory elsewhere? If so would that create a problem? It would appear that Eclise got installed under /usr/bin.

I would like to put it in a common directory so that I just have one instance of spring. How can I rectify the situation? Thanks
