Restoring workspace selector dialog box in eclipse.
Have you ever selected ‘Use this as the default and do not ask again’ checkbox of workspace selector dialog box? If you happened to select that checkbox, next time onwards eclipse will not ask you for workspace selection again.
To bring back the workspace selector dialog box once again, go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Start up and Shutdown and select the ‘Prompt for workspace on startup’ checkbox.
Hi,
Even after checking the option “prompt for workspace selection on startup”,
Its not prompting me to select the workspace. I am using eclipse 3.2
Can you tell me what could be the issue here?
I have got the same problem, the option is checked but eclipse always starts a default workspace
If you update java to Sun’s java and set Sun java as the default, this should fix the problem. It also runs much faster!
If you use a Debian-based system, you can check this out for a tutorial on how to do this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=477117
I’m sure there are analogous tutorials or help for how to do this for other OS’s.
I did this, and it works like a dream; Eclipse also runs a bit faster (I think).

thanks. Now it works.
