Show dialog to choose workspace while it starts

Question

I know its a silly question but i am stuck into it from 2 hours..Can any body tell me how should i enable the dialog which opens at the time we start eclipse and we choose workspace location from there.

See I want this window to be displayed first when eclipse starts

By mistake I have checked "Use this as the default and do not ask again".

Please guide me how to show up this dialog again

Answer 1

If your workspace is corrupted and Eclipse doesn't startup with your currently pre-selected workspace, you may edit SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=false to SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=true which is located in file

C:\PathToEclipse\eclipse\configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs

before you start the IDE.

Answer 2

window > preferences > general > startup and shutdown > workspaces

then check 'Prompt for workspace on startup'

Answer 3

You can find it here :

Menu: Window -> Preferences -> General -> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces -> Prompt for workspace on startup

Eclipse preferences has a lot of options. You can search for specific options by typing in the filter text box at the top of the preferences dialog.

If you type in 'startup' for instance the list will be much shorter.
