Description Karl Herm CLA 2015-01-16 12:33:16 EST 
With the prevalence of multiple monitor environments, I find myself starting and moving eclipse to my second monitor constantly.  It doesn't seem to remember which monitor it was in when shut down.

But there is more.  I have a need to start two instances (using different workspaces) to do my current task.  I'd love it if I could set a command line argument to start Eclipse in a predefined monitor or even define the size and location of the instance.

This obviously is very low priority but it seems like something that could easily be coded in a day.
