Description Brian Hudson CLA 2004-10-18 10:07:04 EDT 
Improved indication for the current Workspace you are working in.
There is little to indicate which Workspace you are running out of. I have
several spirals of development within my app and often have several of tehse
open at once. Since the directory/project structure is nearly identical for
these it is difficult to determine what workspace I am currently looking at.

Is there any way beyond Help->About Eclipse Platform->Configuration Details then
searching for the osgi.instance.area property?

Possible Improvements:
- Named Workspaces
- Workspace name and/or path as a root element of the Navigator/Package Explorer
trees
- Workspace name and/or path in the title bar
- etc

> Workspace name and/or path in the title bar

eclipse -showlocation does exactly that.

See also bug 34927 for a more general request for title bar config.

There is currently no plan to do any further work on this

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
