How to share workspace between Juno and Luna [message #1430044] |

This question has probably been asked in the past, however I could not find a reference in my search results. My apologies.
I have been running Juno (with a huge number of plugins I need) for some time and am interested in trying out Luna. When I ran Luna, I got a warning stating that once my workspace gets converted to Luna, I won't be able to use Juno. This is unsatisfactory for me, hence my post here.
Is there a way allowing my workspace to be shared between the two versions?
Cheers,
Dimitri.

Eclipse's workspace metadata is stored separately from your project files. It's just that the default location when creating or checking out a project is in the workspace folder (an unfortunate default in my opinion, but one that has been there since the beginning and won't likely change any time soon). But as Ed pointed out, it is easy to import your projects into a new workspace, Eclipse even offers the option to copy them over to the new workspace folder if you so choose. An alternative is to check your projects, including .classpath, .project, and .settings folder, into an SCM tool like cvs, svn, git, etc. Then you can check them out for any Eclipse workspace and place them anywhere on your file system you want.

All Nitin is saying is that a workspace that is touched by Luna is no longer guaranteed to be compatible with Juno. So he recommends backing up your workspace before touching it with Luna, in case you want to go back to it with Juno later.
But you don't need to share the workspace between two versions of Eclipse, just share the projects. As I said, the two do not have to be co-located.
