Description David Becker CLA 2014-07-01 13:50:48 EDT 
My preferred workbench perspective layout includes two separate windows which I position on two monitors.  Under OS X Mavericks (10.9) each monitor is treated as it's own "space" and an app launches on either one space or the other.  This results in both windows opening on the same monitor and I have to drag the second window to the second monitor every time I launch.  It would be much nicer is Eclipse could remember which space each window was last running in and open there automatically.

While you can turn off this feature in System Preferences > Mission Control > Displays have separate Spaces, I do like the feature in other respects.  It's just this one use case that is annoying.
