== Identify Multiple Instances of Eclipse ==
You might have learned to identify your instance of Eclipse by looking at the perspectiveor "about Eclipse". I have discovered There is an easier way to identify theman instance of Eclipse. It's the "-showlocation" flag. It embeds the workspace path to the title bar of Eclipse. Example:{| border="1"! !! Title bar|-| Without –showlocation || Java – Eclipse SDK |-| With –showlocation || Java – Eclipse SDK – E:/Eclipse/Eclipse WTP/wksp/....|} Here is how you do it '''For Windows'''* Create a shortcut of Eclipse.exe* Go to shortcut's properties* Add "-showlocation"(without quote) to the end of Target field * Click OK* Use this shortcut to start eclipse '''For Linux''' * Create a batch script * type "/path/to/eclipse/eclipse -showlocation" (without quote)* Save it* Run it when you start eclipseSomeone please test this on linux, I created this based on my memory about linux.=D
