Eclipse PDT IDE switch workspaces without app relaunch


Is it possible to switch workspaces in Eclipse without relaunching the application?

I want to group projects with their file transfer settings, and switch between them without having to reload the application. PHPed has similar behavior.

I don't know if workspaces is the correct term with Eclipse. My setup is to use a seperate workspace for each site I'm working on, so I can have different projects for different servers like development or production. Also I like breaking sites down into different projects to allow for easier global searching. And in PHPed the startup lags when there are a ton files in each project which I do not know if it's the case with eclipse.


Solution

  • One approach in Eclipse is to put everything in one workspace and to hide the projects you are not working with at any one time.

    Note that in Eclipse, a project does not have to be nested within a workspace, and one project can be part of more than one workspace.
