Description Andre Weinand CLA 2002-09-19 12:25:33 EDT 
Mac UI applications are not started via the command line but by double-clicking. As a 
consequence Eclipse's execution options are not easily accessible. The not-Mac-like 
work around is to specify the execution arguments by editing a (normally invisible) file 
within the application bundle. Since this is rather static, the user has to duplicate the 
60MB Eclipse application if she wants to work with multiple workspaces.

It would be more Mac-like to have an initial dialog to choose from recent workspaces, or 
to have a file which is associated with Eclipse so that  a double click would lauch Eclipse 
with the correct workspace. 
In addition it would make sense to have some of the execution options on a preference 
page and would apply after a restart.
