I have eclipse already running, and I want to be able to open a file and jump to a line number from CLI. I want the file to open in the current open workspace. I am trying:

/Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse --launcher.openFile test_file.c:401

However, I am getting an error because the default workspace is already open, and its asking me to choose another workspace.

if I simply use "open text_file.c"it works just fine, but doesn't jump to the line number of course.
