Is there some way to specify the workspace on the command line? I’m using 8.5 on Linux and every time I start up I have to manually switch to my workspace.
Stacey,
When you open MyEclipse 8.5, it first opens the Workspace Launcher where you can choose the workspace path and also a checkbox is provided to set it as the default workspace. Can you clarify, if you have checked the default workspace option? You can see your workspace here – Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Workspaces
First, I wouldn’t have a problem if the Workspace Launcher came up; it does not.
In Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Workspaces, my workspace is the only one in the list and “Prompt for workspace on startup” is checked.Stacey,
Remove the workspace set up under window > Preferences > General > Startup and Sutdown > Workspaces. Let me know if this prompts you to select workspace.
Stacey,
This is weird. I cannot replicate this at my end. At the time of opening MyEclipse if I choose the workspace and click on “Use this as default and donot ask again” checkbox, next time I try to login, the IDE doesn’t prompt me to choose the workspace. Next, I clicked on Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Workspaces – selected the checkbox “Prompt for workspace on startup” and removed the entry under *Recent workspaces*. Clicked on [Apply] and [OK]. Closed the IDE and opened again, I am prompted to select the workspace.
Can you answer few more queries –
1. Can you copy and paste your installation details? Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.
2. Can you perform a -clean. Please refer – https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/troubleshoot-using-the-clean-command-line-argument/
3. Can you clear your .log file. Your log file is located at [your workspace dir]/.metadata/.log, replicate this issue and check if there are any relevant issues logged. Please copy and paste the same here.
4. Also open Help > About MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench > Installation Details > Configuration. Look under *** System properties and copy and paste com.genuitec.pulse.client.handshake.id hereStacey,
Can you try this –
1. comment the following line to remove the default workspace in config.ini :
#osgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/Workspaces/MyEclipse 8.5
Your config.ini should be located at [your myeclipse installarion dir]\configuration\config.ini
2. click on Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Workspaces – select the checkbox “Prompt for workspace on startup” and remove the entry under *Recent workspaces*. Clicked on [Apply] and [OK]. Close the IDE and open again
3. Using command prompt go to C:\Program Files\Genuitec\MyEclipse 8.5\ or appropriate ME 8.5 location and run “myeclipse.exe -clean”. This will open the workspace launcher, choose the workspace. Make sure “Use this as the default and do not ask again” checkbox is un-checked. Click on [OK]Let me know how this works for you.
Just for info, I’m also getting this with 8.5 – it’s not prompting me for a workspace and nor is it defaulting to the only one I’ve ever used – projects are blank. I do “switch workspace” after I’ve started up and then it starts up again correctly.
cusdx,
Thank you for sharing your findings with us. Have you tried the above workaround – changes to config.ini file and performing -clean?
Can you share the set of steps taken by you which resulted in the above issue? This will help to narrow down the root cause.Joy
I am also, just recently experiencing the same problem. I followed the steps above and it did not correct the problem. I now always launch a default workspace and must use switch workspace to get backI’ve had the same problem and I have no idea what caused it, but the steps above worked for me to restore the workspace selection dialog box. i.e.:
– click on Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Workspaces – select the checkbox “Prompt for workspace on startup” and remove the entry under *Recent workspaces*. Clicked on [Apply] and [OK]. Close the IDE and open again

Click on [OK]Note: My IDE already had the “Prompt for workspace on startup” setting set, it just was ignoring it, so the first of those two steps may not be necessary, and I suspect simply running “myeclipse.exe -clean” might have been all that was necessary.

mfkilgore – try opening the IDE using “myeclipse.exe -clean” again. I had the exact same behavior as you and it worked for me. Alternatively, make some other adjustment that would cause the preferences to update such as changing the number of workspaces to display in the dialog box selection list.
