Non display of workspace when multiple eclipses pointing to multiple worspaces are opened
     In my project i have a requirement where i need to open multiple eclipses pointing to multiple workspaces. I need to go from one workspace to another , eclipse dows not display which workspace i am in its was very hard to find the workspace name and i have to see the properties of any file to see which worskspace a project is in.

Reproducible: Always

That's what the -showlocation argument is for.

You can also set the Workspace name preference in Preferences>General>Workspace.  It will be prepended to the shell title.
