I noticed that after installing cdt, Eclipse always loads the default workspace. The workspace listed in the config.ini in osgi.instance.area.default. Eclipse does not ask which workspace to open regardless if Prompt for workspace on startup is set or not.
How do I force Eclipse to ask which workspace to load on startup?
1 Answer. Go under preferences then type " workspace " in the search box provided to filter the list. Alternatively you can go to General>Startup and Shutdown>Workspaces. There you can set a flag to make Eclipse prompt you to select a workspace at startup by checking the "Prompt for workspace at startup" checkbox.
In Eclipse , go to File -> Switch Workspace , choose or create a new workspace.
Click your user image in the upper right to display the menu, then select Account settings. Go to Defaults > Default workspace. Click the field to display your list of workspaces, then select one as default. Click Submit.
It works for me if I tick the box Prompt for workspace on startup, which you can find in Window → Preferences → General → Startup and Shutdown → Workspaces.
