Moving Eclipse Workspace from ~ to new directory?

Question

Okay, so I made a mistake of setting my home directory (~, a.k.a. /home/user) to be my workspace location on my RHEL6 box.

I want to change my workspace to ~/workspace.

Answer 1

On Windows 8 I did this:

1. Closed All of the projects in Eclipse
2. Closed Eclipse
3. Physically moved the workspace folder to a new location (in my case I put it into c:\projects as I have this backed up).
4. Started Eclipse
5. File > Switch Workspace and selected the new path. Then eclipse restarted itself and all projects showed up.
