Eclipse: how to differentiate/distinguish different open workspaces


I will need to use multiple workspaces for a recent project. Each workspace might consist of 10 or more projects.

When I'm switching between various applications and different Eclipse instances (for the multiple workspaces), I want to be able to distinguish a given workspace easily without having to spend 5 seconds to know from the open file, etc.

What facilities are available to quickly know which workspace I'm in ?


Solution

  • Use the -showlocation command line argument when starting Eclipse. This shows the current workspace name in the window's title. You can also put the argument in the eclipse.ini file.
