Workspace check [message #512161]

Hi,

you all know that "Workspace cannot be locked" message appearing if you
attempt to start Eclipse twice with the same workspace.

Astonishingly I didn't notice this behaviour with my brand new RCP-based
product. I found out that the check is implemented by a set of !private!
methods in IDEApplication. checkInstanceLocation() is the method at the
top of them.

So the questions are:

Do I really need to protect the workspace?

If yes, is it the right way to just copy&paste the private methods from
IDEApplication to my own application class or is there a cleaner way?

Thanks and regards,
Dirk
