Description Adam Schlegel CLA 2002-07-15 13:20:40 EDT 
Build 2.0

On Linux, it appears to be possible to run 2 copies of Eclipse on the same
workspace at the same time. When I try to do this on Windows, Eclipse writes an
error message to the console talking about the workspace/.metadata/.lock file.
On Linux, the .lock file is being created/deleted on startup/shutdown, but
Eclipse does not prevent itself from starting if the file is already present.
