Run Eclipse with a new workspace.  You should see the Welcome Editor.
Close and restart Eclipse.  Welcome editor cannot be restored.

Still broken for me on 20020920 build.  I am running the 1.3 jre - if that 
matters.

Bugzilla user error ...
Comment 5 Lynne Kues CLA 2002-10-07 15:48:24 EDT 
Still broken for me in build 200210011353

Here is how my shortcut on Win2K is defined:

Target: D:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -dev bin -data d:\eclipse-ws\ui-ws -vm 
d:\eclipse\jre\bin\java.exe

Start In: d:\eclipse-ws\ui-ws

If you start with a new workspace, run Eclipse, immediately close Eclipse and 
then restart you get the restore error.

Here is the log:

It has nothing to do with running Eclipse from within Eclipse.
