Problem with switch workspace [message #510641]

Hello,

I manage my switch workspace like IDEApplication. And when I switch workspace, my RCP restarts with the new selected workspace.

Nevertheless, when I exit and launch my RCP, it starts with the default workspace, and not the last used.

How can I manage my selection workspace to modify this behaviour?
Thanks for your help,
David.

Hello,
I find a solution to my problem.

I add the following line to my config.ini file :

osgi.instance.area=@noDefault

It open the SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG, to select the workspace, and suggest the default workspace which is also defined in this file with :

osgi.instance.area.default=./workspace

Hello,

I think this behaviour is an Eclipse bug. Because the default workspace should be only used if no workspace is set. And the RCP always considers that no workspace is setted, even if we have switched to a new workspace.

Is there a bug about this?

Hi David,
I am following up for this bug. I have having exact same trouble.
Could you please let me know where should I modify this code for workaround you suggested.
osgi.instance.area=@noDefault
Also can we do that programatically?
Thanks
Amit

Hi Devid
I noticed two things

1) following is my org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs
#Wed Feb 03 15:38:09 CST 2010
RECENT_WORKSPACES_PROTOCOL=3
MAX_RECENT_WORKSPACES=5
SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=true
eclipse.preferences.version=1
RECENT_WORKSPACES=C\:\\Temp
CruiseControl\\OARS-win32.win32.x86\\oars\\w1\nC\:\\Temp
CruiseControl\\OARS-win32.win32.x86\\oars\\we

Here show workspace selection dialog is true but it dose not show the dialog
when the application starts. Even that could solve the issue.

2) As per your suggestion
I add the following line to my config.ini file :
osgi.instance.area=@noDefault

but when I treied to start the application it gave me following error

MESSAGE An error occurred while automatically activating bundle
