Description Oleg Krasilnikov CLA 2005-08-16 08:04:20 EDT
When workspace location is set to not-existing directory, 
and Eclipse cannot create it (no write permissions for
upper directory, etc), the following message is displayed: 
"Workspace is already in use". It can confuse user. 
Text like "Cannot create workspace: /a/b/c/d" may be more useful.
