Configuring title of eclipse [message #333657]

Hello,

usually Eclipse opens with the title 'Eclipse Platform'. This title is
supplemented by the path and name of the Java class currently opened in the
editor.
Is it possible to configure and change the Eclipse title (I use the version
3.3.2) or to start Eclipse with an option setting the title, e. g. by
displaying the name and/or path of the workspace - if yes: how?

Reason:
Sometimes I start several Eclipse instances (with different Workspaces). It
would be advantageous to see e. g. the name of the workspace somewhere.

You can use the -showlocation command line flag.

I use the -showlocation command line flag, but the title doesn't display the
workspace.
What may be the reason?

And by the way:
Where can I find a survey about all Eclipse commandline options?

It's in the Help, under the Workbench User Guide. Here's the online
version:

I don't know, but a good place to start is by looking in the error log
to see if anything is being reported. You may also want to try using
eclipsec instead of eclipse, to catch any console output that might be
generated.

Meanwhile I found the reason of the error, why the workspace had not been
displayed.
Here the solution (for all, who have sometimes a similar problem):
The character, I used for -showlocation, was no genuine hyphen (ASCII 45 =
Hex 2D), but a character, which looked as a hyphen in my texteditor, but
with another ASCII code.
I discovered this effect when I looked in the logfile and saw an entry like
Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -data
<myProjectDirectory> Ã»showlocation
The Ã» indicated, that this was no real hyphen.
