Bug 2916

Description Carolyn MacLeod 2001-10-10 22:46:06 EDT

This feature is something that VAME had.
	When you started up the workbench, it brought up a dialog with a combo box and Browse button,
	from which you could specify the workspace (or 'target' directory) that you wanted to work from.

	In Eclipse, we have the -data option, which is fine. I am NOT saying to get rid of that or anything,
	and I am also NOT saying to bring up the VAME-like dialog every time Eclipse starts.

	What I AM saying is that I personally have several workspaces (targets) that I like to switch back
	and forth to. Currently, I keep several desktop icons with different -data parameters.

	But back in the VAME days, I found it quite convenient to get the nice dialog, and just select the
	workspace I wanted to work in currently. Personally, if that was an Eclipse option (say, -dialog or something)
	then I would run Eclipse that way.

		Another aspect of this feature from VAME that I would use if it was in Eclipse is the "Open Workspace..."
		menu item on the File menu. (It basically brings up the same dialog to choose among several saved workspaces).
		I used to use that a lot. The kind of thought process is: "OK, now I need to work on the 1.0NL version and look at some bug.
		Then I can go back to the 2.0 version to do new work."
