Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

-showlocation should help distinguish eclipse windows when one starts multiple ecplipses. but most window manager display aids, like windows task bar, tab switching bar, linux task switching dispaly the beginning of a long window title. and the location is not displayed any more, so it does not help distinguishing any more.

please let it display in the beginning of the window title.



Reproducible: Always

Do you mean "show location in the workspace chooser dialog"?

(The startup splash can be adjusted for different eclipse installs by using "-showSplash".)

-1 to change the current behavior but I'm open for a new command line argument that would implement this.

For the multiple eclipse case (multiple workspaces), there is a preference to name a workspace (General>Workspace).  It is shown at the beginning of the window title.

Ha! I didn't even know about this feature. I guess that's enough and we shouldn't add yet another command line argument then.

Funny, I too did not know about it. I'll close this for now as "works for me"; please reopen if we misunderstood the request.
