Galileo perhaps has a problem with the Startup/Shutdown
mechanism:
1) On startup, Galileo does not prompt user
for workspace selection and immediately
defaults to: $HOME/workspace.
Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Startup
and Shutdown -> 'Prompt for workspace on startup'
item is checked. Checking/Unchecking this item,
exiting/starting Eclipse does not restore startup
workspace prompting. This mechanism fails to work
and always defaults to $HOME/workspace.
2) Using: File -> Switch Workspace, and adding
user defined workspace does save the workspace
entries into: Windows -> Preferences -> General
-> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces and will
shutdown and restart Eclipse with the user-defined
workspace item selected. However, this user-selected
item is not "remembered", should the user manually
shutdown and restart Eclipse; the user is not
prompted for a workspace selection (in spite of
the 'Prompt for workspace on startup' item being
checked) and chooses the default workspace as:
$HOME/workspace.
I have removed the "$HOME/workspace" entry from
the list, leaving behind user-defined workspaces
and it seems that none of these user-defined
workspaces are chosen, only $HOME/workspace
is always chosen. The same is true if all items
are cleared from this list.
If I am missing something, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Dan

Since it obviously works for most users (certainly Galileo would not
have released with such a drastic bug), all I can do is grasp at straws.
So here goes...
What, exactly, did you download and install? Which package? Have you
installed anything into that since first running it?
What happens if you get a new installation and try it; does it prompt
you for workspace selection on startup?
What does your eclipse.ini look like? Are you specifying a -data
argument there or on the command line (eg, in a Windows shortcut)?

First off, I am running Eclipse on Fedora 9, not M$.
It did work, at first. But later on, when installing
most of the packages and default plugins I did not
seem to have any difficulties. Everything went along
just fine until I had problems fiddling with trying
to get the SVN, Subversion, Subclipse packages to
work and started using both Galileo and Ganymede
while testing why there was *many* problems with
SVN. Then somewhere along the line, Galileo's
Startup workspace prompt stopped working. Using
the same workspace with Ganymede and Galileo, only
Galileo's startup seems to be broken somewhere...
> What, exactly, did you download and install? Which package?
How can I easily get the entire list for you since
I don't want to type it all out by hand? ;)
I first downloaded JavaEE package for Fedora (linux)
and then from the Galileo update site, downloaded
nearly all items that were installable. Everything
that was available from Birt, C/C++ ... Perl, PHP...
plus some sources outside Galileo availability such
as Photran, Pydev, and SVN from polarion. I did not
install any plugins outside of what was already
available via Galileo.

Workspace prompts worked before updates. After updates,
it worked as well and I was running several JavaEE apps
and had my fun for awhile, until I noticed there was a
problem getting SVN commits to work, so I was fiddling
with SVN using both Ganymede & Galileo on the same workspace
(independently) and noticed that workspace prompts stopped
working. I was doing a LOT of work fiddling with SVN to
the point of completely uninstalling and installing SVN
so, somewhere in this step, workspace prompt stopped
working, perhaps. I just don't know when and what caused
workspace prompt to fail...

Does Fedora use the eclipse.ini file? Do you want
me to dump the file here? Please let me know...
Also, if there is anything I can provide you let me know.
I am tempted to re-install Galileo again and see what gives
but I will leave the original Galileo if you want in order
to discover why it failed? Again, please let me know.

To remove obvious problems: are you sure that you're not using gcj
(the "native" java runtime) of Fedora? This is normally linked to
/usr/bin/java and will be used by Eclipse if you don't specify another
JVM. gcj is not supported and causes all kinds of strange behaviour.

Since the JVM is specified in the eclipse.ini it would be helpful to
see its contents.

The first thing I suggest is using the Sun "official" JDK instead of
OpenJDK. I don't think Eclipse is tested against OpenJDK and there could
be incompatibilities. And make sure to specify the JVM in eclipse.ini,
as described here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini
I would rule that out before going any further.
