Hello

We currently design an application which use workspaces (and Project
Explorer as well). The application plug-ins can be used in Eclipse
workbench and then take benefits of underlying Eclipse IDE.

But we also need to package this application standalone as an RCP
product. We meet some difficulties to insert Eclipse IDE elements:
- the Project Explorer displayed empty workspace: solved
- users need to switch workspace: we added the dialog to a menu, but
their choice is not saved and restart open once again default workspace

It is really hard to find useable information about such problems which
imply both extensions, actions/commands, menus AND INTERNALS!

Is their a place or a deep documentation for such reuses of Eclipse IDE?

Hi.
I have something similar in my project. To achieve what you want, i used preferences to save the "workspace" the user has selected to switch. After i call
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().restart();

And when my application is starting i read the preference value to set the workspace.

Hope it helps.

May be the Eclipse application does the same way ...
