I use eclipse on my workstation and on my laptop. On the workstation,
eclipse remember the last workspace I used and starts directly in it, but
on my laptop it does not.
I had a look at possible places where the information might be stored and I
found that the last workspace location is stored in
$HOME/.eclipse/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/d ialog_settings.xml
On my workstation this file contains some detail about the workspace, but on
my laptop the file does not change. It always contains only the following
two lines:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<section name="Workbench"/>
I have set my workbench preferences to 'Prompt for workspace on startup' and
to 'Confirm exit when closing', but it does not do any of these, even
though the boxes are still ticked when I exit and restart eclipse.
So, now each time I start eclipse on the laptop, I need to switch to my
workspace as it always start with the default ($HOME/.eclipse) which has no
projects
As far as I can see, the settings are the same on both instances of eclipse
Any idea what could cause this?
Thanks

Assuming the installs are identical, same version, same OS, could you have a
permission issue (looks like you run on Linux) ?

Under your <wokspace>/.metadata
Also playing with Eclipse own metadata may be a cause for many problems, if
you have already done so.
That is typically a no-no ;-)
BTW, what Eclipse version , java version and OS do you run?
Where did you get eclipse from?
What I would suggest, for now is to try to start eclipse with -clean
If you still have a problem, export your preferences, then try to start with
a clean install of Eclipse, pointing to your workspace, then import your
exported prefs.
