I noticed that after installing cdt, Eclipse always loads the default workspace. The workspace listed in the config.ini
in osgi.instance.area.default
I resolved the problem by adding -showLocation parameter to eclipse.ini
I had the same problem with indigo on linux 3.0 X86_64:
After runnning eclipse -clean
everything went back to normal.
Thanks to some comment on the eclipse issue: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=134412
Inside the configuration/.settings folder of your Eclipse installation, there is a file called org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs
. Open this file in a text editor and change the property SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG
from false to true.
Tested with Eclipse 3.7 on Windows.
I use Eclipse Indigo, and this is how I do it:
Window > Preferences > Startup and Shutdown > Workspaces
check box at the top of the window: "Prompt for workspace on startup"
I followed the thread and tired all things but didn't work. Finally I saw that my eclipse shortcut target is like below
C:\Eclipse_3.6\eclipse\eclipse.exe -clean -data "C:\workplace" ...
I simply removed -data option and it worked. Now I got popup to choose workspace at startup.
cheers.
Editing the config.ini
file with
osgi.instance.area.default=\D:\\Projects\\Eclipse Workspace\\
worked for me.
