Hi,
I have two uncompatible plugins. I've created two separate eclipse
installations for them. I would like to have a separate workspace for
each, but when I launched the second one, it tried to access the first
one's workspace, what I did not want. It seems that eclipse stores its
workspace at a central location. How can I manage to have separate
workspaces for different eclipse-installations? It's awkward to start
every eclipse-session to switch workspace manually.
Regards

Gergely,
If you installed the two eclipse environments in two different paths,
then you should have two different config files (called
org.eclipse.ui.prefs) in the configuration\.settings subdirectory of
each of the installations. That's where the workspace path is stored.
But Eclipe should remember the last workspace used...
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Kai

For the second, the only file I have in configuration is config.ini. In
the first, I have config.ini org.eclipse.core.runtime org.eclipse.osgi
org.eclipse.ui.ide org.eclipse.update, they are directories except
config.ini. So I don't have org.eclipse.ui.prefs file there. What to do
then? What is the syntax if I would like to create one in
eclipse/configuration?

Gergely,
Sorry, I seem to have missed out a blank. Within the "configuration"
directory, there should be a subdirectory ".settings". The file in
question should be there. What version on which OS are you running?
Best regards,
Kai

Ok, let's have a second try (sorry for taking some time to answer):
Within the home directory of your user you have a (hidden) directory
".eclipse" there you will find a folder tree
"org.eclipse.platform_<version>/configuration/org.eclipse.ui.ide ", where
<version> represents the eclipse version you are using (in your case
3.0.1). There you should find a file called "recentWorcspaces.xml".
That's where the workspace info should be stored.
So you have two options:
a) Use different versions of eclipse (I assume that's not what you want)
b) write a little batch file, that copies the respective Workspace file
and then starts eclipse including the specified plugins.
Personally, I would discourage a third option, which would be to build
your workspace file dynamically prior to starting eclipse. It would be
(a) slow and (b) no one could guarantee compatibility to other versions.
HTH,
Kai
