Thanks, I already have seen the value, but when you start eclipse and
choose a workspace this value must be saved somewhere else then in
config.ini. Maybe user.home is the value which points to my chosen
workspace? Do you know where this value is stored?
But since I want to save the value programmatically I would need to
know which class is responsible for storing the location in the right
place. And since in the IDE it is done, there must be a way ;-). But I
didn't find it in the source code.
I guess there must be a more or less simple way to achieve this.

The IDE saves data about the selected workspaces in
<ECLIPSE_HOME>/configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs
See the ChooseWorkspaceData.writePersistedData() method.

I know I already saw the class and the prefs file BUT the workspace
is not saved there. Only the recently chosen Workspaces which should
be displayed in the dropdown menu of the changeWorkspace Dialog are
saved there.
AND readPersistedData is called after Platform.getInstanceLocation()
where the workspace is already read. So the workspace as such must be
saved in a different class.
Regards
Andreas
