How to change Eclipse window title?

Question

How to change the title (last part of it) of a running Eclipse?

I am speaking about Eclipse distribution itself, not about my program written for Eclipse.

Answer 1

You can't. Unless you are creating your own RCP app

The workbench window title is defined by the branding plugin. Eclipse defines the product and so you will have the "Eclipse" defined in its branding plugin, which will be displayed in the title bar.

Answer 2

The following worked for me in Eclipse Luna:

1. Open the file Eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.platform_4.4.0.v20140925-0400\plugin.properties in a text editor. (The exact path will depend on the version.)

2. Change the productName=Eclipse value to your desired title. Save the file.

3. Start Eclipse once with the -clean argument.

This is not really an answer to your question and it might help you or not, but you can have workspace specific title (at the beginning), see
