Description David Almilli CLA 2002-07-24 16:02:37 EDT 
It would be nice to have a file which defined a workspace of projects similar 
to the way Visual C++ does it.  Inside the workspace would be a set of 
projects.  This way when switching between working environments for different 
codebases, you don't have to close and open up several projects in order to 
switch back and forth.

Note that you can point eclipse at different workspaces using:
eclipse -data c:\myworkspace
Comment 2 David Almilli CLA 2002-07-25 12:29:56 EDT 
I didn't know that you could do that.  Thanks for the info.  I still think it 
should be possible to do without shutting eclipse down and restarting it for a 
different workspace.

You can run multiple workspaces simultaneously (but you can't launch the same 
workspace twice simultaneously).

Also, if you include -showlocation as well as -data, then the workspace path is 
shown in the window title.

But I agree the user shouldn't have to rely on command line args to manage 
multiple workspaces.
