One of Eclipse's best kept secrets is the -data startup parameter. Many people 
don't seem to know about this parameter and as a consequence end up with 
workspaces that are much larger then they need to be. This can then lead to 
poorer performance. 

It would be very useful for Eclipse to include a utility that helped manage 
workspaces. For example when starting Eclipse show a list of workspaces along 
with an optional description, and let the user select the workspace that they 
want to use.
