Description Dean Roberts CLA 2002-04-29 13:23:37 EDT 
Using -showlocation when the -data option is not explicitly set does not show 
the location of the workspace on the Eclipse title bar.
Comment 1 DJ Houghton CLA 2002-04-29 14:00:39 EDT 
What is the -showLocation option? I don't see that in any of the documentation 
for the Eclipse command line arguments and I can't find any reference to it in 
code.
Comment 2 John Arthorne CLA 2002-04-29 14:24:08 EDT 
I had never heard of this option, but it's handled in the UI.  This appears to 
be the intended behaviour of the option.  Note the following comment in the 
constructor for WorkbenchWindow:

	// include the workspace location in the title
	// if it is NOT the default location and the command line
	// option -showlocation is specified

Moving to UI for comment.
Comment 3 Dean Roberts CLA 2002-04-29 14:25:50 EDT 
Kevin sent the -showlocation option to me when he closed a PR I entered saying 
that we should display the workspace location in the title bar.

I have no idea where the documentation for command line parameters is or even 
what all the parameters are.  (Maybe I should enter a bug report about this <g>)

Filed bug 14928 for the doc work.
Should always show the location when -showlocation is specified, even if it's 
the default.
