Description Peter Larsen CLA 2006-01-10 06:44:21 EST 
The Workspace Launcher asks for a default workspace at startup, and it is always created even when I press cancel (and stops eclipse). The workspace contains nothing but the .metadata directory.

Also happens on OSX, as of 3.5.0.  This seems to be duplicated by bug 179108.

I did a test and nothing happened. I think the bug FIXED.

Eclipse 3.4.1 Worked normal.
Build id: M20080911-1700
linux

Eclipse e4 Worked normal. 
eclipse.buildId=I20100224-2100
linux

I just tested 

Version: 3.6.0
Build id: I20100129-1300

on a windows xp64 and it still creates an empty

C:\Documents and Settings\***\workspace\.metadata
Comment 7 Frederic Gurr CLA 2011-09-01 07:51:44 EDT 
I just tested it with:

Version: Indigo Release
Build id: 20110615-0604

After clicking cancel, the workspace is NOT created.

So this issue seems to be fixed. (Works for me at least)
