Hi,
we have an e4 RCP application which our customers would like to launch multiple times,
so they can compare data.
This doesn't work though, the 2nd instance stops launching with the Error-Message
"Workspace Cannot Be locked", detail-message contains 'workspace is currently in use'.
e3 RCP apps allowed this.
Can I somehow persuade e4 to also allow it?
I tried with '-data @none' but this caueses an NPE in
org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.ResourceHandler.loadMostRecentModel(ResourceHandler.java:127)
I also tried with '-data @noDefault' and then setting the workspace myself as unlocked like this
Location instanceLoc = Platform.getInstanceLocation();
try {
// set location to c:\temp
instanceLoc.set(new URL("file", null, "c:\\temp\\ws"), false);
// workspace unlocked here
}
catch (IOException e) {
throw new Error(e);
}
but in the class 'E4Application' this workspace is being locked:
// at this point its valid, so try to lock it and update the
// metadata version information if successful
try {
if (instanceLocation.lock()) {
writeWorkspaceVersion();
return true;
}
// ms: else show error-message "Workspace Cannot Be locked" ...
So do I have any other options for this use-case except creating a workspace on the fly for each running instance of the application?
Thanks,
Manuel

Could you file a bugzilla for this. I think we should add a config
option to allow multiple starts.
